If I see yellowing of (especially lower) tomato leaves it screams
out 'deficiencies' to me. Often nitrogen but sometimes iron /
magnesium. I add a good liquid fert with trace elements to their
water for a week or so and see if it helps, then take it from there.

Well , now my hot box smells like a fish market ... today I mixed
2/3 cup of fish emlsion with a gallon of water and gave everybody
1/3 cup of the mixture . I figured it couldn't hurt .

Wow! I normally mix a couple of tablespoons to the gallon. I hope it
doesn't burn.

A big part of the reason I used it is that it doesn't burn like other
stuff might . Followed up with a thorough watering today . Probably washed a
good part out , bet the soil under those sets will be fantastic for the
wildflowers I'll be planting there when the garden gets planted . I have
several bee-friendly plants that'll be going in at various places around the
property as soon as danger of frost is past .
