Give them a boost

Puregoodtomatoes · July 16, 2006

My tomatoes need a boost of something. I'm thinking of spreading Alfalfa meal down now. Is this a good idea this time of year? Or is something else better?

I've done foliage sprays so far, but I think my soil is so depleted I need more. I waited too many years without ammending my soil and tend to plant a lot in it. I had plans for spreading manure, bonemeal, alfafa meal and a lot of leaves this fall to help me out next year but my plants need help this year. What can I do this time of year? They aren't horrible but not good. Maybe a little chlorosis in a few. Any ideas to help out??

I would love some help. Thanks
