About six weeks ago, a gardener friend of mine gave me 2 tomato seedlings.
The next day, i got called upon at work to go abroad for a time, so i
never had the time to pot them on.
When i returned i repotted the plants into bigger pots and watered them.
While they never died, they aren't exactly flourishing either, so i
thought it best to take a look at what was happening, and lifted them.
I saw that the roots were in a ball - all growing anywhere but the right
place.
How i remedied this was to wash all the soil away from the rootball and
THEN repot them again.
Was this the right course of action, or will i now lose them?
Its early days i know, as i just did this about an hour ago, but any advice
would be gratefully recieved.
One other thing is i have never fed these, as i dont like using chemicals
on stuff. Is there any organic feed i8 could buy?

A good organic feed is seaweed solution which you can buy. You can
water the roots and also spray the foliage to give them a boost. It's
a bit less smelly than nettle solution. I think you've done the best
you can.
