Can i use this as a food for my tomato plants which have blossom drop? Word is calcium is good for this problem.

Hi Ms! It's worth a shot! The product states it can be fed to chickens and cows to increase calcium levels so I am sure it is safe for tomatoes. That said, I cannot address the efficacy of calcium for blossom drop. Best of luck to you!!!

No. It has very little nutrition for your plants. I am a square foot gardener and highly recommend the book a method. You can replace the use of this with Mel's mix.

Yes... I usually put a cut up dehydrated tomato slice and some sunflower seeds....it's great. I really like this product.

I went out and purchased salad seeds from a local store and used the growing medium supplied in the kit called "Grow Anything" and am having tremendous success. So choose the salad you like and grow it. I have not tried tomatoes but might in the future.

That depend on your purpose. I have used it on & around plants with good success. What I'm becoming concerned about is it's use around vegetable and fruit plants. I suspect some of the poison is getting into the plant and I'm not sure I want to be eating it if it gets into the fruit/veggies. If it's just ornamental plants, I don't think you'll have any problems and it should work pretty well.

Yes, why not? What other method might you use? I have used for tomato plants and watermelon seeds so far.

Never tried it for that, I recommend Safer brand organic Sulfur spray. You spray this organic sulfur liquid on you plants during the vegetation cycle a few times, and 2 weeks after your plants start to flower. Then no more. It makes the stem and plant mold and mildew free. Just do not spray on after the flowers or fruits begin to produce, as it can then effect the flavors... And mold and mildew have a tuff time growing in sunlight or use at least a 600 watt sodium bulb if indoors. Also this is an oil based extract and I would think it would not mix well with water to apply it to plants. good luck

We use FoxFarm grow big until the plant is green and sturdy. Once flowers appear, out nursery man told to switch to the SuperBloom. Tomatoes still need calcium.

I used it mixing the bone meal with regular soil when transplanting bulbs. It really helps them grow bigger and healthier.

Yes it can be used on any type of vegetable that would benefit from extra calcium.

Yes, I put a scoop in my watering can and water my tomato plants with it. Works great!

As long as you check the moisture level frequently this should work for tomatoes. For most tomato varieties you will need to provide support for the plant so the container doesn't get overturned by the weight of the plant and fruits.

I have never used it for that particular purpose but I have used it for Lime, both powdered and granulated along with a variety of fertilizers and grass seed so my best guess is yes it would work for you.

Yes. Silica is great for outdoor or indoor plants. It helps with stress and cellular repair. It's a great product for any plant. Good growing :D

I would look up what type of nuts muscdine this is a 5/5/5 fertalizer so it would work for all stages of growth might be a bit acidic for the vine. I don't know works great on tomato plants!

This product works well for birds, not so well for squirrels. I double it up and make sure the edges are secure and it might keep squirrels away. They are usually looking for a source of water. Thats why they just bite into tomatoes and not eat them .. Try putting a water source or even a food source ( their own tomato plant, or cracked corn) away from your desirable plants.

Hmm... my advice would be to try one of each brand before committing to buying more of either one. In either case, be sure to provide enough calcium for your tomatoes, as they may tend to get blossom-end-rot if you don't add enough lime (calcium carbonate). And tomatoes will stop producing when temps get too high, so be patient if you get a mid-summer lull in production. Good luck!
