Not sure how that directly compares to Tomorite, but I'm willing to bet

it's
a lot cheaper.I use it for feeding my container roses and they

appreciate
it.



Why do all tomato feeds seem to be liquid? Sulphate of potash comes in a
solid form, so what is it that we can't mix with water ourselves?


But that's just potash - K There's still the Nitrogen -N and Phosphorus -
P elements to apply. So liquid tomato feed (which is really just a high
potash feed) is a convenient way which can be used cheaply (but not by using
Tomorite IMO).
