Low feeders so too much and you get all green,

I have very vigorous plants and not many tomatoes. One of my plants
is really small but has lots of tomatoes. Could you rewrite that last
sentence so I can understand it? I assume you're suggesting
fertilizer of some sort.

Sorry - I meant tomato plants really don't need much fertilizer. Some
people equate big plants = heavy fertilization(wd?). Too much
nitrogen and you get massive plants and few tomatoes. So far I just
fertilized at planting time (late May). Compost should feed the
plants the remainder of the year.
Thanks. All I did was to put these little commercial tomato stakes
in. I have no idea what was in them, but I seem to be getting less
blossom drop (a *big* problem) and, therefore, more tomatoes since
doing it.
