Advantages: easy to use, economical & great results

Disadvantages: none for me

I do love our garden but really don't have much of a clue about growing stuff but last year I had a go at growing tomatoes & am delighted to say they were yummy & plentiful. This year I'm growing a different sort of tomato which have much smaller stems & seem to be doing really well so far. We don't have a greenhouse so I've been growing them outdoors in pouches & pots.

It said to 'feed' when the flowers started to appear & having no idea what this really meant but unwilling to pay the £6.99 for the make recommended by the plant suppliers, I took myself off to the poundshops to see if they had an equivalent which is where I found a 600ml bottle of Doff Toamto feed which even had 20% extra free.

The bright red plastic bottle has a screw-on/off white plastic top which, when removed, reveals a hole around the size of a 10p piece which means it's easy to pour out as the top acts as a measure.

It states on the front that the liquid is suitable for fruits & vegetables but I've also used it on sturdy plants & have achieved great results to date.

Doff claims that the product does the following -
- 'encourages strong, healthy growth in the garden & under glass'
- 'promotes top quality full flavoured produce'

I can say that I think these claims are true because I did a test last year by using it in certain pots of tomato plants whilst not adding to others. The ones which had been given Doff grew taller & produced more tomatoes of a bigger size.

I also use it in a hanging basket & on some planted bedding plants & the Doff seemed to bring them back to life & promoted an unexpected crop of flowers.

I've stored this in a dark cupboard since last year & was surprised to see how little I'd used so in my opinion it's very economical. It only needs 10ml to make up 7 litres - 270 litres from a whole bottle.

All the directions for use ( using outdoors or in the greenhouse) are clearly given on the reverse label of the bottle along with the usual cautions when using plus all the ingredients which include magnesium,, nitrogen, zinc etc.

summary
~
- brill stuff which really worked for my plants last year ( & still using it this year).
- paid just £1 so really eceonomical to use.
- a real diffrence between those tomatoes, aubergines & flowering plants fed with Doff & those not.
- recommended product for use by green/non-green fingered gardeners.

Summary: makes a real diffrence in growth & quality when used
