May 2nd, 2009 Proper Tomato Nutrients
The secret to growing large vegetables is providing the proper nutrients to the soil. Potting mixes are not always composed of the correct ratio of nutrients. For fruit-bearing vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers, you need a high concentration of phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium.
To correct the soil imbalance, I would recommend supplementing the potting mix with some aged manure and peat moss. These two organic materials will provide a steady flow of nutrients throughout the year.
To keep the soil from drying out, I suggest using either straw or dried grass clippings. Once again, these are organic materials that will enhance soil composition as they break down. They do a great job of holding in the moisture and keeping down weeds.
Finally, a good trick to controlling blossom end rot is to add 2 tablespoons of epsom salts to the planting hole prior to transplanting. Just be sure to scratch it in rather than placing the seedling directly on top of the epsom salts. Some gardeners take this one step further by placing crushed eggshells around the transplant as a mulch. Eggshells are loaded with calcium, while epsom salts are high in magnesium.
