Jack's Classic 12-15-30 Veggie Feed Water-Soluble Fertilizer with Micronutrients for Plant Growth and Abundant Fruit Set in Blooming Vegetable Plants, 1.5lbs

I've been using the JR brand fertilizers now for three years. I used to be one of those "staunch organic" gardeners that thought poorly of chemically derived fertilizers. I started gardening in the subarctic and found that I just wasn't getting enough performance in my short garden season from organic ferts. I wanted to make a change.I did a lot of research and found this company. I liked that they used soil science and were a soil lab first and foremost. They have clearly been at this game for a good long time (under a couple names) and had a good reputation. They have a clear understanding of the nuances of various plants out there and the needs of a gardener that are trying to care for those plants.I first tried the all purpose and within one week, I was sold on the product line. This stuff is amazing and forever changed my entire opinion of non-organic fertilizers. The bottom line, if my plants were unhappy with it, they wouldn't respond as well as they do. Within two days of applying this, you will see significant and noticeable growth. The liquid application works quickly and effectively. When used in appropriate dosages, and even a little bit more, there is no risk of fertilizer burn.For all of my nightshades and peppers, I use the Tomato Feed platform for the first two applications of fertilizer. (This ensures appropriate calcium and magnesium throughout the season.) I then switch to a 50/50 mix of the all-purpose and bloom booster and continue this rate for the rest of the season. I have found the mix to be a more effective balance between flowering and growth than bloom booster alone. For most other veggies, I use just the all purpose. For my flower pots and beds, I use straight bloom booster throughout the entire season. I have completely converted over to the JR Peter's brand fertilizers and use it exclusively across everything, even my indoor citrus and houseplants using those purpose-focused products as well.The Tomato Feed is expensive, at least compared to their other products! But, you don't have to use it for the entire season. I only ever use it for the first two fertilizer applications. If I start to notice magnesium or calcium deficiencies later in the season, I reapply. Otherwise, don't use this stuff every day or you'll go broke! Use the all purpose or bloom booster as a regular, more affordable fert for the rest of the season. I get about 2-3 years from one of these buckets and that grows a lot of tomatoes!Since switching, our production rates have shot through the roof and we even do well in "bad seasons" across most of our garden. While fellow gardeners complain, we reap incredible benefits because of this product line.I can't recommend this stuff enough, honestly!

This is the first year I have used this product, and I am impressed with not only how well my tomatoes are growing, but also my zuchinni is producing earlier and more abundantly than ever before. Great results when using it according to directions, every 2 weeks.

I live in South Florida and it is not easy to grow tomatoes especially in ground as we have sugar sand. I use the citrus product on my papayas and mangos. But this is unreal results. I fed once per week up to 2 gallons now like clock work. There is close to 18” of growth weekly and no burn. I trim it back and tie up the arch each week.Yielded close to 200 Roma and cherry. Must have product. I filled the trench with quality soil and pack with mulch to create the eco system.Otherwise I have never seen this much growth and yield. Next year going to try some Rare tomatoes like Queen of the Night.

We used this fertilizer to grow tomatoes, peppers, and a watermelon in 7-gallon containers this past summer. We grew from seed and used a different brand's high nitrogen (11-3-8) fertilizer to encourage growth until the plants reached their full size, and switched to the Tomato Feed fertilizer to support flowering and fruiting. The growing conditions were not ideal - we grew on our apartment balcony with only 5-6 hours of full sun starting during the hottest parts of the day. Despite this, regular weekly feeding with this product (along with watering, pruning, and other maintenance) seemed to greatly benefit the plants. From three plants we harvested about 10 lbs of useable tomatoes. We also got a slightly undersized but still delicious sugar baby watermelon, a quarter pound of peppers from a habanero plant, and a couple pounds of peppers from a jalapeno plant.For the price you don't get a whole lot of fertilizer, but for our needs one 1.5 lb tub is looking like itll last two seasons (I.e., we used about half the tub for our plants over the summer). That said, we did have to use more fertilizer overall growing in containers than we would have had to if we were able to grow in the ground or a bed. Overall, great product, and at the end of our first growing season we are not regretting the purchase at all!

I can tell it's a good fertilizer. My plants respond to it very quickly. DO follow the directions, and don't be affraid to use a little LESS than they recommend per gallon. It's got a high NPK, and if your soil is already high in any one of those nutrients, it could cause burn to your plants, so I recommend starting with a half dose, then maybe a full dose 2 months later...or...do the small dose every few days or once a week method.
