 do you use these fertilisers differently. I know their NPK is similar. Is Tomorite for regular feedi g and fish blood and bone for monthly yearly feeding. I don’t want to over feed my perennials. 
Can anyone advise.

    Don't use bfb if you have foxes. They'll dig up your plants.

    tomorite is strong in potassium i think, to encourage flower/fruit.     FBB is more balanced....the three ingredients each helping with NPK values.

    You are right @UpNorth.
    FBB is a general early season feed, whereas Tomorite is to help fruiting/flowering.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Also Tomorite is an instant feed for the plant.
    BFB needs to be broken down by soil life before the nutrients are available for the plant so it takes while to become available then it's a sort of slow release fertilizer
