Fish Meal as fertilizer

Labradors2 · March 1, 2014

I couldn't resist buying some Menhaden fish meal (7-3-1) today.

They didn't have anything like Tomato Tone for me to compare it with in the store, but I figured that the nitrogen amount looked good for seedlings at least.

I'm planning on growing at least 5 tomato plants in containers this year so I guess I have to add some fertilizer to the Pro-mix.

Could I start them off with the fish meal and then add something with more Phosphorous later on? Any suggestions? I'm new to growing tomatoes in containers (without using Miracle Grow)!
