Plant Starter Mix
This is the mix I used last season in my raised beds with mixed results. The San Marzano, Cherokee Purple and Black Cherry tomatoes grew and produced like crazy. The other varieties grew leggy and almost non productive. No issues with blossom end rot or yellowing of leaves. Will use it again next season but only for the San Marzano and Cherokee Purple. Still waiting for the "miracle starter mix"! Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
