When to fertilize (and with what)

tam91 · April 5, 2011

My little tomato and pepper seedlings are doing great. They're all transplanted from the seed starting trays (metro-mix 200) into square pots or 12 oz styrofoam cups with metro-mix 360.

They're getting pretty good sized, and we don't plant out until around mother's day. So they have over a month to go.

I'm wondering when/if I should fertilize them?

I have Miracle Grow for tomatoes, which I could use diluted. I'm open to hearing other/better options for fertilizers also. I do not grow organic.
