Tomato Tone

Any one else gag at the smell of TT? Good gravy that stuff stinks. I mean I can handle Neptune's Harvest now, not a big deal and compost is no biggie either...But TT???

Isn't it GREAT!!! It even keeps the rabbits, deer and moles away.

Gotta LOVE it.

Too bad that the smell leaves soon after watering.

Oh I don't know, I think it must smell pretty good, because my 9 month old 60 lb doggie ate a hole right through the bag to get at it! Of course she tries to dine from the cat box too.

LOL. Must smell GREAT!

I just don't know why anyone would complain about such an aroma.

Ha ha! Sure it smells GOOOOOOD

The problem is that I am scared to top dress with TT because my two would eat the surface of the soil around my tomatoes if I did!!

Maybe my batch has a little too much "sun baked vomit" in it? If this stuff made tomatoes with dollar bills in them, still don't think I'd use it again...well maybe on a few cherries but that's it.

Once its covered you really dont smell it, and oh the results. Wait till you see!

Labradors2 · August 6, 2015

Exactly Marsha! I use it when potting up and when planting out. No problems then

Well...been using it for a 3-4 applications now and dare I say have more tomatoes than I know what to do with! For sure a quality product. Yeah, I'll probably keep using it...Just being overly dramatic.

Now I know why the local Walmart doesn't carry TT. They won't stock fish emulsion either. I asked why, and they told be that they don't sell it because it stinks. Not the word she used but I can't type that word here.

PA_Julia · August 6, 2015

Actually I love the smell of it!!! Not joking!

Gardenboy · August 6, 2015

Glad I am not alone. I love the smell too! I think dogs like it because of the bone meal smell it contains plus it probably has traces of dried blood as well. Been using it for 11 years now. TT works well for me here is south FL and I am neighbors with Ginger!

Actually one of my very favorite neighbors!

Now you're talking.

Just opened my first bag and the smell is.....interesting. I also opened a bottle of microbiological products recently and the hydrogen sulfide lingered for quite a bit. TT by contrast, smells almost fruity and sweet, quite tolerable.

On sale for $7, so I got 3 bags and some lime too for $2.50/bag. I'm sure these espoma products will live up to the hype.
