Espoma Tomato-tone® 3-4-6—4-lb. bag

Tomato-tone® provides a balanced, nourishing diet for your tomato plants, unlike many fertilizers that are the equivalent to providing a diet of hamburgers and fries. The best tomatoes grow naturally, with superior nutrients, at their own pace, giving them time to develop meaty pulp, firm skins, appetizing color and the optimal flavor. Enhanced with Bio-tone®, our patented formulation of beneficial microbes, Tomato-tone® will help you to produce your best tomato crop ever.

Here are some tips for growing the best tomatoes:

• Plant tomatoes in full sun after any danger of frost. Remember that containers or pots are more susceptible to cold temperatures.
• Water sufficiently so as to prevent blossom end rot and fruit cracking.
• Stake or cage plants upright for the best fruit.

When preparing tomato bed apply 3 lbs. of Tomato-tone® per 50 sq. ft. and work into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil.
