A helping hand for stunted toms
I have 5 Tomato Plants that are going to be put outside. They are a
bit pot bound and therefore are quite stumpy. They are 4 Mirabelle Blanche (Cherries) and one Unknown Potato Leaf... When I plant them out what is THE best thing to do and use to get them off and flying again. I know about teasing out the root ball to help them a little ...but what fertilizers or soil amendments would be excellent for roots and to get the stems growing up and for making them bushy before I allow flowering. I have manure, access to sea weed, nettle water, potash, calcified sea weed, epsom salts, peat based bagged compost and bone meal handy ( I know not bone meal..but wanted to list it all :-) ) If any of these are useful... If it is too late for catch up that is fine..but I would like to try. Here in Northern Ireland it is still quite cool and some areas is still getting mild frosts. Covering them is not a problem as I have load of clear plastic and fleece I can use at nights. I am digging over the spot tomorrow in hope of planting them out soon so any adivce would be great.
