Do you fertilize with Tomato-tone from Epsoma?
Gardener here in south Florida and it's my first time using this product. It's all natural/organic stuff like poultry manure, greensand, humates and feather and bone meal. So far so good. Wonder what your results have been. I also use a liquid seaweed/fish emulsion every 3 days for foilage and around plant. Great stuff!!
Yeah I recently found the 8lb bags from a garden center in Loxahatchee, FL which is about 30 minute drive for me. Cheaper also $10.13 for 8lb bag. My grandfather got me gardening as a boy and have always loved it. Especially the tomatoes. Just be careful with your Tomato-tone around dogs..they love it because of the chicken smell and manure in it. I have a lot of tomato plants and wanted a natural fertilizer besides the fish/seaweed emulsion. Check out my Heirloom tomato list on trading section if you interested in trading some seeds. All of them are indeterminate variety and heirloom.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.. every three days is a lot of fish emulsion. The fish emulsion is 5 -1- 1 (NPK). It does have a lot of trace minerals and micronutrients so it's good stuff. But the tomato tone is 3 -4- 6. You don't want to be feeding your tomatoes too much nitrogen. It induces large leafy plants at the expense of fruiting.gardenboy wrote:Not really..as long as they don't eat a lot of it. Mostly natural stuff in it but I think it does smell pretty good for fertilizer. I like the high potash nutrients in it. Better than all that nitrogen.
