European based fertilizers I'm using this year
All these products came from England or Europe.

Keep us posted Ami, I will be very interested to hear your results.
I have used the Maxicrop seaweed extract before and find it to be a good product (not based on scientific testing or anything just that it seems good!) I also have the same bottle of Ecoworm tomato fert, but haven't used it yet, definitely will as the season progresses. |

Go to the www.biotabs.eu site for some interesting reading. It is new and should be showing up in the US in the near future. I'm using the tabs both in the ground and in containers.

An interesting assortment of organic products Ami.
Most of these are new to your program this year? |

Many thanks for posting this, Ami! Can you give me the link for the English products, please? I mean where to order them.

Clara, when you bring up the Amazon UK site do a search for "Tomato fertilizer". Ami

gosh darnoodley, some of those are really expensive. In general anything with organic and liquid in the name seems to be worth gold.

Azet Tomatendunger is a perennial for me whether I'm growing in soil or containers. I sent Raybo a box to try with his Earth Tainers and he was very pleased with the results. Unfortunately it is not available in the US.

Auf Englisch: http://www.neudorff.co.uk/products/o...able-food.html It's a pity if it's not available in the US, but I am sure there are similar ones in the American brands - based on what I have been reading here, there is a wealth of organic stuff in the States. If not available in every local shop, at least easily found on-line. |

Speaking of horsemanure last year at our garden center I found pelletised horse manure and bought a bag for my surrogate garden at work. The plants really loved the stuff. Used it again this year as well.

Thanks for the link, Ami! I have used horse manure (not pelletized) in the past years, but also pelletized cow manure - no difference for me.
The cow pellets are much cheaper than the horse pellets, so if you have a Thomas Philipps shop nearby, please have a look at it. |
