AZOMITE in containers...

Do you tomato gurus use azomite in your tomato containers??? I read amazing things online about results. I am wondering if it is all hype???

Ed of Somis,

Most of my containers are woven grow bags, but I do have a solid (plastic container)
that I’ve always grown a smaller-type plant in like Mountain Princess.
I have 3-4” of river rock in the bottom over (4) ¼” drain holes. 6” of potting mix, then the top 4” are enriched with azomite, rock phosphate, and Espoma Tomatotone®.
This year I’m growing Mr. Bruno in that container from Glecklers and it’s doing fine.

I've been using azomite in my container mix with great results. But I also add a lot of other stuff; kelp meal, bone meal, bat guano, crab meal ,etc.

A little bit of everything doesn't hurt. It not that expensive either if you're able to get the 44lb bag for 23 dollars.
