Default Earthbox, Pro-Mix Ultimate Organic, and Fertilizer

Need your advice, please.

The only Pro-Mix I could find was the Pro-Mix Ultimate Organic (approved by Earthbox).

I was going to use Tomato-Tone in the box prior to planting and then use TTF weekly or semi-weekly down the tube.

Then I noticed that the Pro-Mix Ultimate has fertilizer added to it.

Have any of you used this and can provide some advice? I am planting this weekend.

Thanks so much!

Pam

I would use your fertilizers anyway. Tomatoes are heavy feeders. Leave the TTF until the plants have a blossom truss.

Thanks for your quick response Marsha!

So, 3 C. of organic Tomato Tone mixed in with the soil mix?

Yes, in the strip they describe in the directions. There's a diagram.
