Has Anyone Tried Tomato Maker?

[peebee]

I was in the fertilizer section of my local OSH and saw this (new to me) fert called Tomato Maker. Has anyone here used it? Don't see a ton of reviews on it so maybe it is not very popular, for a reason.

I started all my seedlings (tomato and pepper) with it this winter (for spring season). I found out about it from Marsha.

It is organic but no stinky smell; a little goes a long way. I only use a pinch and still on the same 3 lb bag. I have sometimes mixed it with water to feed plants.

Previously I used Espoma BioTone and one year the Granular fertilizer from the folks that make TTF.

Thanks! I might give a try one day, after my other ferts are used up.

I use it every year on my first transplants after the first true leaves form. I love the results. A little pinch at plantout in the 4" pots, then another pinch 4 weeks later.

Marsha, is there a reason you would use it only at first transplant? Or is it that you just prefer another fert for the rest of the season?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I love it for ease of use and fine powder texture, very easy to incorporate with promix for first transplant fairly soluble too.
I prefer Tomato Tone for final transplant because it suits my needs better, but you can certainly use TM for the entire growth cycle.

Good to know Marsha, thanks!
