Good fertilizers for Tomatoes?

Hey girlie! One word for you: eggshells! I even started my seeds in a large piece of eggshell and then planted the shell and all. I've only had a good garden once before and this is my first time starting tomato from seed and they are doing GREAT! Save your eggshells and coffee grounds and work them directly into the soil where you will be planting. When putting the tomato seedlings into the ground, dig the hole and put eggshells right into it, then the tomato plant. They'll love you for it. Even after they're planted, you can still work a bit of eggshell here and there in the soil around them, as they'll still get the benefit when you water. Also, to make the stalk thick and strong, after the second leaves come in and the stalk starts getting taller, either bury it deeper (up to the leaves) if you're transplanting into a larger area, or add more dirt around it for the same effect. That encourages more roots to grow from the part of the stalk that was just buried, giving it more support - it works! Here's a pic of mine that I just took minutes ago. These were all started at various times, so I should have fresh tomatoes for a good long while. Good luck!

I would just use an all purpose vegetable bed type fertilizer. Don't overdo it though. if the plants are healthy one treatment is probably all you will need. Good Luck and happy gardening.

I have in the past used "Miracle Gro"...but now am leaning more towards fertilizer teas! Along a more organic line. I make manure tea...banana skin tea...comfrey tea...and am just experimenting with milk! Recently read that rinsing out your milk cartons & watering tomatoes, adds beneficial microbes to your soil. Am also experimenting with red plastic...and blue plastic placed at the base of the plants, as wide as the drip line. Will see which color works best..they are supposed to reflect beneficial light rays back on the plant!

Hi Grasshopper. I have four huge plants in my garden. Two are Romono tomatoes, and two are cherry tomatoes. I use Miracle Grow for gardens. It is working very well for me! Let me know how that works for you.
