I am certainly not in posession of any great gardening knowledge but I'll
throw in my two cents worth anyway. I know its not a tomato plant, but my
gardenia suddenly got a lot of yellow leaves...the lady at my local nursery
said it was an iron deficiency and that a good dose of epsom salts would
cure it. I sprinkled a good couple of handfulls around the base of the
plant and within three or four days all the yellowing had gone. I know we
are talking different plants here but perhaps its a similar condition?

Hi,

I have grown this Tomato from seed and have recently transplanted into
my garden. Not long after I did this the leaves started to yellow -
or get lighter. I am sure it is deficient in something, but I am
unsure what would be the best way to treat it. I soil tested one of
the other beds and the PH was above 7.0 - so I have applied sulphur to
it - the bed with the tomato was untreated - could the alkalinity be a
reason for the yellowing?



Thanks

Denise
