Michael _ I used the three cups and added Actinovate drench at plant out. It took a while to dawn on me that I was seeing a lack of vigor followed by nutrition issues. We had several discussions about this fert over on the EB Forum. Someone there knew someone at Epsoma who used EBs. They said and this is a quote "I use a minimum of 2 cups Tomato Tone and two cups BioTone Starter in each box" with good results. They were back east at the main Epsoma plant. I have a long growing season, so I would use MORE. And they said this was a MINIMUM.

I am converting my boxes to sythetic or blend. I would not use TomatoTone again without ammending it. I have had good results with other organic ferts in my EBs, like Dr. Earth. My personal opinion is that the new TT formula is weak when compared to other ferts.
