I used EKO compost in the garden and Happy Frog potting soil for the flowers and Tumbling Tiger. I used the eco because I didn’t need an entire bag of Happy Frog soil conditioner. Side note; I’m leaning towards the entire veggie garden being Happy Frog next year, the product seems to be superior so far.
I also fertilized with Happy Frog tomato and veggie fertilizer, giving the tomatoes I planted two weeks or so ago 1/3 cup each and all other crops 1/3 cup per row. I used 4 tablespoons (as directed) while planted up the Tumbling Tiger.
