Feeding tomatoes
« on: July 18, 2014, 11:46:32 am »
The tomato trusses are developing thick and fast and ripening slowly.


Should I be feeding the plants something now? I can never remember when I am supposed to feed what…….


Is it a high potash feed when the fruit struts to come?

Yes, nitrogen for leafy growth so initial plant development, then high potash once the first fruits set
