One of my fondest summertime memories was going to the garden to pick fresh tomatoes. Oh, did they ever taste good and juicy when I ate them right off the vine. I didn’t know they were good for me as well.
I have a degree in agriculture and biology and have been growing tomatoes most of my life. I have gained a huge amount of knowledge about growing tomatoes and would like to share that with you at http://www.growingfreshtomatoes.com
What is a good organic source for the average number of fertilizer?
The first number is nitrogen fertilizer that promotes more green leaves. I am aware of the many sources of organic nitrogen. I want to become a wine tasting tomato called Brandy. I want organic products and may be added to the soil plant when it will encourage the plant to have large tomatoes. Banana skins will add the egg deposition of potassium and acid neutilize rotten banana skin. Tomato Brandy Wine is a great legacy that may not be able to become big, but I try. Does anyone out there has an answer to share with me?
The first thing that comes to mind was guano. It is preferable to use a balanced organic if you go to fertilize. Just plain old compost and a good margin. Here is a link to a "credit card" instead of doing things. Good people by mail. http://www.groworganic.com/pdf/fertilizersolutionschart.pdf
