my tomatoes need fed can i use fish blood and bone?

No - its a slow acting fertiliser and you need a high potash quick acting one for tomatoes. Ask your garden centre if they have an organic one - there are several liquid fertilisers meant specially for tomatoes. Wood ash is organic and high potash so you could try that but the liquid would be faster acting.

You need some liquid tomato feed. At this stage in the season, the tomatoes need a quick fix to help them produce plenty of fruit. There is not much time left - just a few weeks - before the end of the growing season. You can get organic tomato food.

Fish, blood & bone is used early on in the season, for conditioning the soil.

Not a good idea at this time of year. Bonemeal is a slow release food, you need something more active.

Wormeries produce a lot of feed, but I don't now if it would contain enough calcium for tomatoes.

=================

I use Fish Blood and Bone for my pot grown trees. You add a handfull to the pot once a year, then cover it to protect animals. It can be used as a general fertiliser the same way.

Seaweed is another organic fertilizer you might consider in future.

I've started my son at around 7 months with Salmon and he loved it! Mixed with potatoes, carrots, broccoli etc, a dash of warm milk ( allowed in cooking) and he asked for more! Fish is more than fine for babies that have been weaned on solids for a while. We give them meats and animal proteins too! I just stay away from tuna until he's older for the mercury content, and fish fingers too, they're nasty.

it will take bone a long time to brake down you could ad it to soil after you harvest for next years batch.blood will attract animals looking to eat.you can buy blood and bone meal that you add to water and since its a liquid your plants get it now.but it stinks a little there are lots of organic ferts out there bat chicken guano worm casting Squanto would place whole fish in the ground in the fall so they would brake down during winter

Sorry - I don't think you will find a fully organic feed suitable for tomatoes.

I'm not sure actually. The fish blood is great for the grass, but I don't know about the tomatoes. I tend to think yes......so why don't you try it on one plant.....use it as a guinea pig, and if it seems ok.....then go for it.

I've heard that ground up egg shells are good tho.

Vegetable is not just a clinical term, it is a cooking term. So the qualifications as a vegetable are not very coherent, which is why we have cases like the tomato: people argue both ways.

My partner feeds his with just water and every other time he waters them he uses watered down tomato feed. You really dont need to use much of it.
