Just saw this. In case others have this question: See my note on basil cuttings - tomato cuttings will often just root in room temperature water, change the water every few days with fresh, room temperature water.

Hi, I have never used it for tomato cuttings, but I have successfully used it to help baby orchids grow roots after losing the mother plant. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer about tomatoes. :)

I have used this product in the garden on pepper plants and was extremely pleased with the results. There should be no problem using one on each strawberry plant. Big Jim

Not satisfactorily. I just tried one and it didn't cut the tomato skin so it resulted in a smushed tomato with little strips from the wires. The skin seems to be the problem. I cut a tomato in half and tried cutting through the portion without the skin but the wires hung up on the skin again - So.... I will say that it is not satisfactory for cutting tomatoes.

I bought this with the intention of using it on my tomatoes. It worked very well for them. I am sure it would work well with basil as well. Just make sure you soak them from the ground up. Do it again after it rains, too.

I would think it would be okay. I use mine while canning tomatoes. I used it to peel the tomatoes over to catch the juice for canning after I was finished with marinara, salsa and so on. I would think acidic tomato juice sitting in there for hours would rust it if anything would. Hope this helps!

Tomato Tone will not burn potted tomato plant so would be safe and effective in either application.I have used in both ways.

Modern day canning advise does not recommend canning vegetables in anything other than a pressure canner. However, this steam canner can be used for anything you would normally feel safe canning in a water bath. I have canned tomato sauce and pickles with no problems. It is up to the individual canner what risks/limits you feel safe taking. I personally would not use it for green beans at least, but again tomatoes and pickles have worked great!

Yes, it was designed to be used on tomato plants, I did not have much luck with tomatos last year, because of the wet earth and continual rains,,,but others have told me that the product did cut back on blossom end rot,

Yes! Right now I use it exclusively on tomatoes. I have the four different cones (where the fruit you are wanting to use comes out) and I use the one with the larger holes for making salsa, and a medium size hole for tomato juice. It works wonderfully!

I didn't use it on tomato plants. I used it on large house plants and it worked great. We were on vacation for 3 weeks and all the plants looked great when we got home.

I think that if the package does not forbid its use, I would try in on the peonies. I use it on tomatoes to stop early blight and late blight. I believe it helps if I mix the powder in the soil before planting the tomatoes.

I don't think it would be a problem. The opening goes as small or as large as you like, depending on how far you push in the green plunger at the top. It also works well on tomatoes btw.

I used it on my tomato plants last year. Food grade is a higher grade, safe enough for gardens and pets.

Yes, absolutely! Infact, because it is so sharp, it slices right through the tomato with ease, and you can get really thin slices. A little pressure and it goes right through. You don't have to slide the knife forwards and backwards waiting for the skin to give way.

I dont know for sure as I have not tried it. I highly doubt it being that it couldn't even cut up onion or tomatoes

You should really plant your tomatoes in a new location. You may have any number of soil borne diseases. Serenade works reasonably well on early blight, but it is hard to tell what your problem made have been.
