Fertilizing

[schill93]

I am intending to use the Tomnato Tone tomato organic fertilizer this year on my container tomatoes, coupled with dousings with fish fertilizer. What I am wondering is if I need to add any other amendments to it in addition to this fertilizer. Example: bone meal, calcium,rock dust etc. Can some of you more experienced tomato growers help me out here. With the cost of everything today in the way of fertilizer and everything else you need to garden, I sure don't want to waste money unnecisarily

I also bought some liqued Miracle Grow Tomato fertilizer as well to perhaps kick start it off, as I guess it takes time for the Tomato Tone to start to break down. (I know no self respecting gardner would admit to using anything Miricle Grow)

I also know most everyone on YouTube today is selling something. They are not trying to build their channel for the good of us lookers. (well maybe there are onn or two of them)

Should I be looking at adding anything else?

Most people will make a trench down the middle of the container and fill it with Tomato Tone and sometimes a small amount of Epsom Salts. Mid-season the TT is reapplied. Some with also use a liquid type feed but it usually is not required.

Thank you MissS. I have a feeling you are talking about Earthboxes. However I am using 15 gallaon landscape buckets (used for trees) I can't believe the amount of Tomato Tone it calls for from what I read. If I'm reading things correctly a 15 gallon pail would require 6 cups mixed in. Does this sound right to you?
