Tomatoes need fuel
in order to produce and set fruits. Fuel for tomatoes is called tomato
fertilizers. I assume that you’ve managed to gather some information about
tomato fertilizing process, but what if it’s not enough? Buckle up and find out
what you really know about tomato fertilizers while discovering 3 ultimate
fertilizing secrets that will help you to back up your garden tomatoes.
My Tomatoes Thrive Better with the Help of Superb Fertilizers TomaBoom
and Flowers & Fruits
Choosing the best tomato fertilizer
depends on the nutrient status of your soil. For you to get that status, you
need to check your soil’spH value. Since tomatoes are known as heavy feeders, note that
they’ll look forward to NPK or macronutrient fertilizers.
NPK is an abbreviation that stands
for three major nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). If
you can’t determine the soil’s nutrient content, you should look for a nearly even
balanced NPK fertilizer. Therefore, I’d recommend not one but two organic
fertilizers which have become the life companions of my tomatoes: TomaBoom and Flowers & Fruits.
2. How to Use Your Organic Tomato Fertilizer?
Now that you made a choice about
which fertilizer to use, you came to the question of how to use it. In my
opinion, side-dressing is your best option. It is based on placing a fertilizer
around the plants. This way the plants get a constant influx of essential nutrients throughout the season. Of course,
there’s also an option of using a nutrient solution as a foliar spray.
3. When to Start with Tomato Fertilization?
The first fertilization wave should
be done when your tomatoes start producing fruits. After they set fruits,
repeat the fertilization
procedure every one to two weeks. Personally, I had better results when
I fertilized the plants with the solution once a week.
Tomato fertilization is an important
part of growing tomatoes hence don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any
questions! Happy growing!
