I think the 10-10-10 was recommended to meet the minimum N needs (2 lbs.) while giving the maximum P and K. There were other fertilizer blends recommended, all ensuring that the minimum 2 lbs. N was met. I had thought that tomatoes do best with not overdoing N anyway (emphasizing fruiting over a lush plant).
As for Chickity Doo Doo, from its website, it appears to be offered at a local fruit market. I'll call later today and see if they actually have it and how much it costs. Thank you for the idea.
