We don't have access to Texas Tomato Food here in Canada, which gets such good reviews.
This year I did a top dressing with a chicken manure product 5-4-3 and compost, and immediately saw results - fruit growth taking a jump etc. - but had the same problem as always, of roots coming to the surface.
I went looking for liquid fert and found a Promix soluble product that is 9-16-16 "organic-based" with mycos and trace elements, so have been using that, tried half strength and full strength depending on how hot and dry it is (warning on the package!). The plants are looking okay but TBH I couldn't say that I noticed any changes I could attribute to the ferts. At least they're staying healthy.
