Best 5 Fertilizers for Tomatoes

I grow a garden almost every year. I love to grow tomatoes, but I never seem to have any luck actually harvesting them. They become dry and cracked or get the black spots on the bottoms. I tried beefsteak tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. My son prefers the cherry version, so that is what we are growing this year. I am using Miracle Gro this year, so wish me luck!Here is a list of 5 great fertilizers to help you with your tomatoes.

Green Light Blossom-End Rot Spray

This corrects a calcium deficiency in tomatoes. Tomato Blossom End Rot is caused by not enough calcium in the tomato plant and makes the fruit inedible. Black spots form on the base of the fruit and spread. This fertilizer is in concentrate form and must be mixed prior to use. Mix ½ ounce of Blossom-End Rot Spray with one quart of water. Apply directly to the plant. For more information, see this link: http://www.organic-gardening-shop.com/agorganics/Product_Details.aspx?ProductID=389

Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed

An easy yet efficient way to feed your tomatoes; this attaches to your hose and you just spray it. No measuring or scooping smelly fertilizer. Plus, you don't even need to touch the plant! Many people are allergic to the acid in the tomato vines, and this makes it simple for them to enjoy their garden. It is not safe for pets, and lasts 14 days.

Jobe's® Tomato Fertilizer Spikes

These spikes are made especially for tomatoes. They come in a pack of 18. You stick them in the ground near the roots and they feed for sixty days.

Schultz® Tomato Plant Food

This plant food is concentrated so you will need to mix it properly with the right amount of water in your watering can. It is $6.99 for a 1.5 pound box. I have never used Schultz before, but from all the reviews I have read, it is a great product.

Scotts® Miracle-Gro® Tomato Plant Food

This can be used on all vegetables to help them grow. This is different from the Miracle-Gro I have already listed because this is concentrated and must be mixed with water in a watering can. This is good because you can regulate how much you feed the plants. It is suggested to feed them every 7-14 days.
