Is this used for both potted and ground beds also?

Tomato Tone will not burn potted tomato plant so would be safe and effective in either application.I have used in both ways.

I use mine exclusively in garden, but my neighbor does pots. Works great in both

You could use it for either one. If for soil you'd primarily use it as a foliar spray.

most likely not. It's best use for potting plants topping. Especially bonsai.

I have only used this a few times but my opinion is that it would work fine for shallow cultivating a previouslywell tilled bed for adding amendments. It needs loose soil for the tines to work without straining the gears or motor. I have raised beds that are very loose and this tool provides me a more uniform depth for addingfertilizer, compost, mulch etc. I do not have any experience with it on compacted dry soil, grass removal,or rood cutting, but believe its not in anyway strong enough for those purposes. I would give it a 3+ because it does save your back and provide a more consistent depth and blending in a previously well maintained garden.

I love this thing, but not sure that it's made for top of bed application. Put it on hard surfaces (ground, rock) and it's the best.

I did not use for potted plants. I used with trees. The trees were already planted so I poked holes with a rod and dropped the pellet down the holes.I imaging you could do the same with potted plants.

Yes. Great product, by the way, since the pot is made from fertilizer and gives the seedlings a boost when you put them in the ground pot and all.

It should work fine for any potting mixture as well as for shallow outdoor plantings.

I used it last growing season, had no trouble with it. It did help the problem insects in my raised beds.

Yes, should work for potted plants. The instructions are to clean the contacts before and after tests and making sure the soil being tested is moist and there is no instruction that would preclude testing the soil of a potted plant.

I sprayed both vegetation and the soil surrounding and it appears that the soil also improved as well as the vegetation. It is safer to use then most of the harsh chemicals on the market.

NO, but the dirt is quite heavy when it's filled and I agree with the other respondent that it's not necessary. That is, unless you are using it for something other than filling it with dirt and planting stuff. We love it for our side children's garden for veggies and flowers.

Having a deeper root bed for some vegetables can be useful, also it can help keep the plants from growing into one another to a small degree. Other than that it is probably mainly an aesthetic choice.

Yes, it's sort of like an "x" so you couldn't plant with just soil or the soil will fall through but you can rest a potted plant in it.

I have only used it twice in raised garden beds. It seems to be durable but I haven't put to any hard tasks.

I only use it for indoor plants but the description says it is for all indoor and outdoor plants.
