Default Re: Towards an optimal Tomato food

so true richard ..that "one bag"."one fertilizer" gives what
our tomatoes need to do their best..
i grow my tomatoes in the ground..full sun.all day..
my vegy garden has rabbit manure,straw,and leaves spaded in
every fall..
for me..and im so still learning.. i dig in 1/4 cup epsom salt and
kelp meal into holes
this yr..im going to add alfalfa meal to the holes..ive read its a great
growth hormone source..
then i use mix of my own rabbit manure tea,and a liquid fertilizer
its low on #s.. 6:4:4 i figure the rabbit manure gives an extra boost
on the potash..
i also add every other yr.. agriculture limestone.. helps prevent
blossom end rot..
im also going to try dry molasses this yr too..
ive read good things on that..
last yr was a crappy yr here .. tomatoes were..just ok on production..
but everyone here (utah) did lousy..so.. wasnt just me.. so
i like to tell myself..
hope many others post their experiments..
really grateful to ya richard for your diligence in horticulture !!!!
