Thanks Clara - - if it works better than Tomato-tone, I will be back to you for an assist in the translation of its ingredients.

Some folks claim that a 2:1:2 kind of NPK ratio is better for vegetables, rather than a higher "P" number as in the "Old" Tomato-tone's 4-7-10 formulation. My limited trial on a pair of Celebrity plants ought to give me an indication if this is true. Next season, I will expand to a more statistically based quantity of plants for the trials.

Well, I am picking ripe tomatoes now from both plants. But from a plant "health" standpoint, I am seeing the plant on the right with Tomaten Dunger looking greener top to bottom.



I see virtually no leaf roll nor dying branches as I am experiencing with the Tomato-tone treated Celebrity on the left:



So Ami, my good friend, and ole buddy.... what would it take to arrange a bulk shipment of 20 Kilograms, or so to Zipcode 95008? I'll be happy to swap you 40 Kilograms of my new Tomato-tone.....

Ray, glad to hear the "Dunger" worked out for you. I think we can keep you supplied with enough for your "Home Tainer Patch". How many tainers will that 1kg box take care of? Ami

Hey Ami,

Sorry, just kidding about sending me a year's supply of Tomaten Dunger. A 1 Kg box will take care of about 6 tomato plants, so with 32 in the ground, I would consume about 5 KG per year.

Thanks so much for sending the one box, as it is an interesting "A/B" comparison trial to conduct. Do you want me to send you a bag of the New Tomato-tone???
