tnpeppers,
Much of 'bagged' soil is way better than garden soil- and since one of your ingredients is probably compost you may be missing some micro-nutrients. For me and my wallet- it doesn't make sense to buy alfalfa meal, bone meal, cocoa meal (if I could find it), and etc. so I use Espoma. Plant-tone, tomato-tone ~ in a band around after planting. Then mulch. Can you goof and burn your plant? uh... no!
With kelp watering during dry spells, on or about July 31st I move the mulch around and repeat XXX-Tone. -RS
