I amend containers with a dry organic fertilizer before transplanting. For regular liquid feeding I've been using Agrothrive for a couple of years now.
I guess if you have enough microbes in your container mix to break down the organics, you're good to go. My container mix is pine bark, peat, and perlite. If I put granular organic fertilizer in there it will sit forever. I like more control over my feeding, and fertigate several times per week. Slow release fertilizer like osmocote is made for containers and releases based on temperature. If Tomato Tone is working great in your containers that's a good thing.
