For Earthboxes, I think Texas Tomato Food works best, but I have been using GreenLeaf Nutrients MegaCrop 1 part for a few years now.

This year, I did some Tomato EB with the Fertilizer Strip (Tomato Tone - Walmart 18 lb bag for about $20 online). I had stopped doing the Fertz strips for years and won't be going back.

But for Broccoli, Cauliflower, and later Tomato EB, I use MegaCrop.

In my super humid climate, it clumps together but it doesn't seem to make a difference putting it down the tube.

They have a chart on how much to use, and for Tomatoes and everything else, I use the veg mode. I don't even measure anymore.

They sometimes have a free sample (very good size) where you pay only for shipping.
