MG so so but not the best.
By far ((my)) best results have been 13-13-13 or something like it in containers or in ground.

I took Worth's advice last year, along with his comment that it takes a lot of nitrogen to burn up plants. I fertilized all containers with 10-10-10 bought on clearance sale at Walmart the year before. I added a good bit of 10-10-10 along with calcium nitrate to the pots about 7-12 days before I set plants in them. I had zero blossom end rot problems with the San Marzanos and Romas last year. And yields from everything were superb. My Brandywine Reds looked like Jack's beanstalk and the Brandywines were plentiful and *huge.* Everything grown in containers, and everything grew far better than when I used organic stuff and Osmocote and Alaska fish and all the other find products that people swear by. Just cheap 10-10-10 and some calcium nitrate worked for me. :-)
