use comfrey to make tour own tomato feed, pick the leaves from the comfrey and put in a bucket of water and leave for a few weeks. Then mix 1 portion of comfrey mix to 10 of water and that's it. But be aware it stinks.
You'd need an awful lot of tomato plants to use even one pack of Chempack, it's very concentrated (and thus good value). I wouldn't try storing it for years unless I had a very dry place for it, as the preparation comes as crystals that you dissolve in water. If the packaging gets damp (I think it's usually cardboard) the crystals go all lumpy and sticky.
But the offer would be ideal for a group of gardeners or an allotment group to purchase in bulk.
