How do you fertilize your plants

luke · May 7, 2013

I know, discussed ad nauseum here and elsewhere. However, I'm interested in how different people fertilize their tomato plants.

For years I side-dressed with Triple 8, because that's what Grandpa always did. Then I switched to Tomato-tone (at the same time that Tomato-tone switched their formula). Don't know that I am going to stick with TT this year, so I might be looking for another option.

I just recently read where one person fertilizes heavier at the beginning of the season and then backs off as the plants fruit, resulting in better production.

What are your choices?
