Any fertilizer should be okay s long as it doesn't have any additives like weed killers or pesticides, and as long as the tortoise doesn't have direct access to the actual fertilizer product.

Read the ingredients and make sure it is just plain fertilizer with nothing added. Miracle grow makes many products. Some are okay and some are not.

If you have an aquarium, the dirty fish water is a great fertilizer. I have a 9 gal cooler with 4, 5¢ feeder fish I keep to produce a constant supply of fertilizer for my plants.

That looks fine to me. I don't see any herbicides or pesticides in that list.
