I never, however heard directly from anyone using them on tomatoes, or
vegetables. It supposedly contains vitamins b-1, rooting hormones, and 50
other vitamins. Supposedly many federal and state govts. use it. My friend
was at a plant show and he bought some. It supposedly has been around for
40 years, and although I am not in the business, I was surprised that I
never heard of it before.
Pete, you're right....the ads and the packaging do look like snake oil. But
the stuff is good. I use it when I pot up tomato seedlings from seed flats
into individual 4" pots. I grow o.p./heirloom tomatoes for myself and for
specialty nurseries and the Superthrive does seem to help the plants
withstand the stress of "careless care" they often receive at the nursery.
