growing vegetables with compost

18 years ago

hi

for the first year i have grown a vegetable garden(tomatoes, beans, eggplant) using only compost and no artificial fertilizer.my plants seem quite healthy and actually have less aphids.the tomatoes are perhaps smaller than when i used chemical fertilizer.

i know compost does not have as high a concentration of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium as chemical fertilizer. is there need to add something(organic or otherwise) to make up what the compost might lack?
