Organic fertilizer for Tomato Plants

This Organic fertilizer combination will produce strong green plants with loads of flowers producing big, juicy, great tasting tomatoes. Also, the addition of Agricultural Gypsum will reduce end blossom rot; and act as an amendment, conditioner and fertilizer. Once you have worked your soil, mix the Kelp meal, Fish bone meal, Alfalfa pellets or meal and Bone meal in a bucket then spread it evenly on top of the soil. The fish meal is yellowish in colour, therefore distribution will be evident. Work the fertilizer into the soil. This organic mixture quantity is good for 6 to 8 tomato plants spaced 2' apart.

2 cups Kelp meal         NPK  1-0.15-1.5  
2 cups Fish meal          NPK  6-12-0 
2 cups Alfalfa pellets   NPK  3-1-2  
4 cups Bone meal         NPK  4-10-0

Before planting add 1 cup of Agricultural gypsum into hole and mix well. Plant tomato plants as deep as possible and remove any leaves buried below soil level. The plant will produce roots along the buried stem and absorb the nutrients from the fertilizer. Water the hole before placing the plant to ensure a good start. Now stand back and watch them grow!
