Answer by Marta
Yes! I have tried all of this together and it works great. Last year was kind of a hum drum summer for growing tomatoes so I was told about this. I was so happy when my tomatoes grew, huge! Best ones on the block! You wont be sorry, just keep a little moisture in the compost. Good Luck!
