I haven't used this product as it is still too cold plant. I've read all the information about it and I am eager to use it on my tomato plants this spring.

Comments about Terrific Tomato Kit:

A great deal, you get a lot of product for your $$. It's even a bit too much for me, as I'm just growing some small cherry tomatoes in pots on my apartment balcony. The water cones are convenient, and I've used the fertilizer on my tomatoes and peppers with plenty still left. I just planted a seedling w/the red mulch plastic so we'll see how that goes :)

Great Value!

Comments about Terrific Tomato Kit:

This kit is a great value. It is less expensive than buying the fertilizer and mulch individually, so it's like getting the spikes and watering things for free!

Comments about Terrific Tomato Kit:

The instructions were clear, the product was easy to use. The only question I have for the kit, why are there not enough stakes to match the number needed for the amount of red material to put around the tomatoes?!!

Comments about Terrific Tomato Kit:

People in the neighborhood are stopping by and asking "What's the red plastic for in your garden"? I have explained the principle of the red mulch, and pointed out how easy it was to install and then stake my tomato cages over the top. I used the fertilizer on not only my tomatos, but also my peppers, cucumbers, broccoli and brussel sprouts. All my plants look healthy and growing nicely thus far. Given the amount of rain and total lack of sun we have had here lately, it's amazing that they are even still alive and not drowned. We're still a ways off from having fresh tomatos, but my mouth is watering in anticipation. THANKS

Easy to use...looking forward to harvest

Comments about Terrific Tomato Kit:

It is difficult to write a "review" as I just planted the tomatoes using this product...so I won't really know how well it worked until a few months go by and the tomatoes grow. I'll let you know. But it was easy to use, directions were good...so we shall see.

Comments about Terrific Tomato Kit:

I can't really write a complete review yet because it's way too early here in mid-Maine to even think about tomatoes. However, I have used one of your earlier tomato kits and had tremendous luck with that version so feel confident that this new kit will be equally as good. Wait till July for a more complete review.

Looking forward to tomatoes

Comments about Terrific Tomato Kit:

The red plastic weed blocker is lightweight and allows tomato cages to slip right in without puckering the plastic. I use 2-3 tomato plants per 3x3 square piece. It's great not having to weed. The tomato fertilizer works well for my eggplants also...the plants are good green color and large.

This tomato kit has really helped produce some of the most vigorous and healthy plants I have grown in the past 30 years. The fertilizer gave them a great start, the mulch keeps the weeds down, and the cones makes watering so easy.

Using product on half of the tomato plants. The plants with the tomato success kit are thriving and producing more fruit and the plants are larger and healthier. The neighbors are no longer chuckling over the red plastic "carpet" !!
