Hi All,

I planted out my tomatoe plants in the Polytunnel on Saturday - they are flying along and have first trusses on them already, however I noticed today that inbetween the veins on the older leaves is turning yellow.  I have been told that this is caused by a magnesium deficiency, will Tomatoe feed sort this for me or do I need to give them Magnesium.  Can I just buy Magnesium of do I need to get it in some other formulation?

I would really appreciate help with this.

Welcome to the site 

I'd use epsom salts for magnesium deficiency.

So do I.. Cheap as chips from your local allotment shop

I put it in my bath as well rather than expensive baths salts

Are your vein's turning yellow too?
