Nitron for tomatoes?
 
I have a catalog from a co. called NItron, an organic plant food co. They
have a tomato food they claim is magic. Has anyone used it?
My potted tomatoes did not produce like I felt they should this year. They
were in big tree pots and had a great soil mix I made with lots of compost.
I fed organic food and liquid stuff similar to miracle gro. The fruits were
many, but very small. The beefmaster did hardly do anything in spite of a
great healthy plant.
I did remember to add phosphorus for flowering.
Are potted tomatoes jst not a good idea?
Don't want to waste my time next year doing the same thing.

It's possible that the soil is too high in nitrogen. This will produce
large healthy plants with little or no fruit.
