I also use it on my courgettes, marrows and chili peppers.  I bought some Tomorite because I was flush at the time but often just buy own brands and never had a problem.
Cheese makes everything better.

Most fruiting veg (and that includes "fruits" like sweet and chilli peppers) will be fine with tomato fertiliser which is relatively low in nitrogen so doesn't encourage the growth of too much leaf at the expense of the roots and fruits.

Whatever the brand, use as directed (once a day for tomatoes sounds way too much to me!)  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Why not? Broccoli doesn`t actually flower, you eat the immature buds and stems. I wouldn`t use it on cabbage, caulis, onions, leeksgarlic, Do I need to name them all?
