plain old plantone?

10 years ago

since regular plantone has a balance of 5-3-3
and contains good organic nutrients, why not just use it on tomatoes and all veggies universally instead of gardentone, tomato tone ect its reasonable and easy to find, i use it as part of my soil preparation. i would think it would work just as well as the others, any comments.

I think you cant. But it is rich in nitrogen and therefore more suitable for leafy greens. Instead of that a cheaper all purpose like 10-10-10- or 16-16-16 .. is better.

5 - 3 - 3
N - P -K
10-10-10

so Plantone is almost twice as rich in Nitrogen in comparison to P and K. Also with cheap 10-10-10 or 16-16-16-16 you get a bigger bang from the buck because you use less of it to provide the same results.
