it is made of soy, corn, grains, potatoes, and cactus.

OK, you Tomato growers, I would be a bit concerned with the Soy in there.

In the past we rotated out hot peppers and tomatoes behind the soybeans. Until we had a year with a HEAVY soy residue and had whole field of extremely lush but dwarf plants with little to no fruit. I later found out that Soy can act like a growth regulator for peppers and tomatoes.

At the Michigan conference I went to in Dec, one of the reseachers also did not use soy as the previous crop in a rotation. I'm guessing they've seen those same weird dwarfing results I have.
