Uniquely among the Solanaceae, Tomatoes, have a high requirement for
Cadmium as a trace element. Normally Cadmium is toxic in high quantities
but tomatoes positively thrive on it. One neat solution is to take an
old torch or radio battery and chop it in half across teh middle using
yer secateurs. Then put each half into the soil beside 2 tomato plants.
In order to activate the cadmium, you need a concentrated source of urea
so add undiluted urine (cat or dog will do fine if you are too embarassed
to use human) once a day for the first 2 weeks. Then just watch the
difference.
