Google persistently advice to buy "TOMATO SECRET" fertilizer by Dr. Jims . The company claims phenomenal production of tomatoes fed by their product, however a reviewer at Amazon suggested that it make more leaves than fruits? Any first hand observations? Does somebody have experience with Tomato Secret fertilizer?

I never buy anything that is a big secret. It is usually a secret for a reason like it is either a hoax or it is no big deal and is something ordinary that you can make or buy from a non-secret source.

Great point Brownrexx, however they say that they disclose all their "12 secret" ingredients. They claim that it is cheaper to buy from them than to mix yourself. They have pictures on the website on tomatoes looking like trees. My concern is that I don't need trees on my porch (LOL) and I need tomatoes, not leaves.

If you have nothing better to do with your money, and like slick advertising.....then sure, buy it.

They do disclose their ingredients: Alfalfa meal, Soybean meal, Rock Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Sulfate, and Sugar Cane Molasses. It's a 2-1-1 mix.

Their plant looks like Charles Wilbur's plants from the book "How to Grow World Record Tomatoes".
