Earthbox, Pro-Mix Ultimate Organic, and Fertilizer
Need your advice, please.
The only Pro-Mix I could find was the Pro-Mix Ultimate Organic (approved by Earthbox). I was going to use Tomato-Tone in the box prior to planting and then use TTF weekly or semi-weekly down the tube. Then I noticed that the Pro-Mix Ultimate has fertilizer added to it. Have any of you used this and can provide some advice? I am planting this weekend. Thanks so much! Pam |

I would use your fertilizers anyway. Tomatoes are heavy feeders. Leave the TTF until the plants have a blossom truss.

Thanks for your quick response Marsha!
So, 3 C. of organic Tomato Tone mixed in with the soil mix? |
