When do you stop feeding Tomato plants?
« on: August 31, 2010, 10:52 »
Hi,
When do you? I haven't fed mine for a couple of weeks thinking they have done all their growing and are just ripening off so wouldn't need it. Or am I wrong in thinking this?

Personally I continue to give them an occasional feed until I have picked the last tomato.  Having said that, I grow mine in beds not in growbags so I'm not wasting any un-used nutrients as I will be planting some other crops in the beds once the toms come out.

I continue to feed all the time the tomatoes are growing (I mean the fruit not the plants)  :D

What do you plan to put in the bed once the toms are finished out of interest?
MOS I thought they had finished growing this time of year, I thought they were just waiting to ripen off, still got alot to learn aye! Thanks

i carry on feeding until the plants finish in october here in the royal county, I try and feed with 2 different types of shop bought feed like wilkinsons or tomorite and also a seaweed extract ensuring the plants get all the micro nutrients varying the feed each time wilkos one week seaweed the next etc ,etc
when we are not sure ,we are alive
