Dr. Earth Home Grown Tomato, Vegetable & Herb Fertilizer, 4lb

This stuff works great on my plants. However if you have dogs, watch out. Mine go nuts for it and dig up/eat all the dirt I use it on. I have had to devise a plan to keep them out of the area for a while until it stops being so enticing. However my plants have never looked better!

Product was delivered quickly and on time. Organic fertilizer for fruits and vegetables

I could not believe how my tomatoes grew after using this fertilizer. This will be my go to from now on.

This seems to have helped my tomatoes and they are looking pretty good after a rough start. The problem is that the dog loves the fertilizer and if I dig it into the soil, the dog will do some of her own digging. She is not harmful to plants but she digs holes around the garden and she comes in the house with a dirty nose so I know she's eating it. I put a good chunk of the fertilizer in the hole when I plant my tomato plants but I am thinking about other things when it comes to fertilizing later on because it's just too attractive to the dog. Normally she's a great dog but she goes nuts for this fertilizer.

I have been growing almost all of our veggies and herbs in our basement for over 6 years and have found that growing indoors provides challenges that are different than outdoor growing, When growing indoors, many of the potting soils that can be bought are sterilized to kill any unwanted insect, bacteria and fungal growths that may be in them. This is great to prevent these problems, but it also kill the microbial flora that is natural in outdoor soil. This microbial bacteria helps the plants to absorb the nutrients in the soil. I have been mixing Dr. Earth into the soil on plants I move to larger pots and plan to add it to established plants. So far, I have been seeing some good results, but I can't say the results are conclusive at this point. I have over 60 years experience in growing plants, and the theory of adding probiotics and mycorrhizae sounds promising when added to sterilized soil. I have added this supplement to a few of my plants and will update this review with results. I hope this review was helpful for you. Ecto and endo mycorrhizae are a fungi that have a symbiotic relationship with plants. The difference between the two fungi is: - Ectomycorrhizae is a fungi-plant symbiotic interaction. The fungus’s hyphae create a sheath around the exterior of the plant root and develop between the plant cells to exchange nutrients. - Endo mycorrhizae, on the other hand, refers to a symbiotic interaction between fungi and plants in which the fungus’s hyphae penetrate the cells of a plant root to exchange nutrients. What this all boils down to is that the plants supply nutrients for the fungi and the fungi make nutrients more available to the plants and enables the plants to absorb more nutrients.
