Which in-the -box or produced organic fertilizer do you like best for your tomatoes.I know many of you do all kinds of exotic things but let's just keep it simple.

I think most people will say tomatotone

Osmocote gets my vote as the best non-organic fertilizer.

I am not organic;
I have 3 or 4 kinds of fertilizers bu MG blue water soluble ( 24-8-16) is my most used one. My garden soil is already very rich in P, medium K and low in N.

I use both Garden Tone (Espoma) and Dr. Earth Organic 5 for tomatoes, vegetables and herbs. Both are great products, imo.

Texas Tomato Food is not organic but I have loved the results. Using third year in a row. I have used tomatotone for containers. For soil I am one of those "exotic" people- do soil testing, adjust minerals, add biology etc.

I have used Miracle Grow in the past but only early in the plants life. This year I have used Texas Tomato Food once and was amazed that the plants grew about 2 1/2 times the size they were before the feeding. That was 2 weeks ago, but I haven't been able to feed because we are getting rain about every 3 days.

Non organic TTF for sure. Found another liquid that I am trying this year called Biolink. Brandywine is booming compared to last year. So we will see, I am happy so far....
