Help with toms please!

I'd read about putting banana skins in the soil for extra potassium which I was planning to do, along with crushed egg shells for calcium.

I may as well just buy every type of feed there is and then research it such is the amount of return visits I have to keep making to garden centres.

How does comfrey tea rate as tomato feed, anyone know...?

The best thing is to make sure your soil or compost has a good amount and range of nutrients and can retain adequate moisture - that's the most important thing. The ideas you are considering are just like making compost, after all - adding it to the soil helps increase organic matter and provide nutrients.

If your soil is "working" well, you will have to use little extra fertiliser.

comfrey tea is ideal for tomatoes - it is high in potassium.
