Yes, I get Plant-tone, Flower-tone, Bulb-tone and Tomato-tone. I also scatter some bloodmeal, greensand, lime and bonemeal while planting (all Espoma).

Do you use one of the Garden Tone ones?

That's so bizarre that plants need blood. Is it really blood? From what?

I want to keep my garden organic, but the plants look a bit yellow, and it needs fertilizer. Any organic suggestions, particularly that I can grab locally at a store? I am afraid to use coffee or seaweed - I put coffee in there a few weeks ago and TONS of ants came.
