I checked on my bags of Tomatoes Alive! Plus and
Vegetables Alive!, *AND* in my Gardens Alive catalog,
and they are ALL labelled "100% Organic" plant food.
So it appears to me that your statement that they make
no statement is incorrect.
Furthermore, the labelling includes NPK contents. I'm
sure if you actually took the time to ask the company,
they would have gladly provided this information.
Nevertheless, the minimum guaranteed NPK of Tomatoes
Alive! Plus is 6-4-1. Additional calcium (8.79%) and
magnesium (1.64%) is included because they believe
these will make the plant more robust. The NPK of
their standard vegetable fertilizer is 4-3-1.
