Feeding tomatoes & peppers
« on: April 12, 2013, 17:24 »
I bought some tomato liquid feed the other day. On the bottle it said it was not suitable for peppers. Why is this & what should I feed peppers with?
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Should have gone to Specsavers!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks I will! On a serious note when should I start feeding them. & how many trusses should they have before I start pinching out.

Start feeding when the first truss has set.

In the greenhouse I let them go to the roof. Outside after 3 or 4 trusses. (assuming we're talking indeterminate tomatoes here, not bush ones).
