tomato side shoots as fetilizer??
Am I imagining this? Many years ago I think I read somewhere that the sideshoots taken from corden tomatoes could be soaked in water and made a good fertilizer to feed back to the plants
Anyone know anything about this? All the best Sue |

All the best Sue Any cuttings off your plants (not diseased) can be recylcled into compost. I know of no reason why tomatoes or a special kind of tomato would be any better than anything else. Typically fleshy shoots from annuals would not contain great concentrations of nutrients, they are mainly cellulose and water. David |
