Aside from the lower N and higher P/K of the Tomato tone I've never noticed much of a real world difference between the regular, starter, garden, or whatever gets used. IDK about the 'acid loving', never used it, but everything else I've tried has just given good results.
I'm glad you decided to post a pic, sometimes us newbies don't know what to do
Ok gotcha, if the bio-tone is a big granular type like plant tone, etc. It's not going to break down in a 2-3 day bubble. Some of that stuff takes months to break down in soil.
Yeah, I noticed. Lol That's what brought me to using their liquid line which is redily available to supliment until the Bio-Tone actually became available. I have good vigorous growth and nice green plants now.
Look at the teas as food for your micros to break down and make food available for your plant. Rather than feeding your plant tea. The oyster shell flour has helped me on some longer (9 plus months) grows in the greenhouse. It keeps plants feeding and happy.
can it just be mixed with water and ground up in a blender?
You don't want the full power of something that's meant to break down slowly all at once.
I am building a well ammended soil for final pots and almost all my ammendments are from their line.
Yea i use several of their products , good quality and great prices.
