extra fertilizer needed after organic soil prep?

17 years ago

hello,

i've had pretty good luck with tomatoes.

now i hear they need regular fertilizing, i usually

just foilar feed after planting.

but i always till cotton seed meal and plantone

as ground preparation. when i plant the tomatoes

i add some bone meal and kelp and a couple handfuls

of rotted manure to the hole.afterwards i just

sprinkle a little organic dehydrated chicken manure

in between the plants then mulch with straw for the

summer. every once in a while a spray of kelp.

and thats it.

sound good?

i thought organic fertilizer lasts long and

in fact soil gets better from year to year

i have very little compost availble here so every

other year i add peat moss and lime.

what are your thoughts?
