"Organic Tomato Formula"

You can buy organic fertilizer for tomato plants in several forms. There are granular products, liquid tomato feed, and powders like horticultural lime, bone meal, and blood meal.

The thing that differentiates organic tomato fertilizers from inorganic tomato food is that it is made up of materials which used to be alive.

When you use organic fertilizers you are not just feeding your plants, you are feeding the microorganisms in your soil. Any time you add organic matter to the soil you are laying out a buffet for the earthworms. This encourages them to multiply. Their tunnels aerate the soil and their castings are a wonderful tomato garden food.

Homemade Tomato Feed

Tomatoes like a formulation of 1 part nitrogen to 2-3 parts phosphorus to 1 part potassium.

Mix together a cup of each, sprinkle in a teaspoon of Epsom Salts for magnesium and sulfur and a tablespoon of horticultural lime for calcium. Calcium prevents the tomato disease blossom end rot. The Epsom Salts promote stem strength and fruit set.

If you want to add more potassium to the mix, dry a few banana skins on a cookie sheet in a slow oven until they are crisp and brown. Crunch them up after they cool and add them to your homemade tomato fertilizer.
