I feed once a week with rose feed and i water every other day with a mixture of manure water[put a good Carrier bag of neat horse manure in a gallon tub add cold water and leave for a few weeks[stinks a bit] then i put 2 part cold water to one part manure mix] it really good for the Toms roses or any other plant, but don't use it on house plants every one will leave home, it really smells.
pigs blood. Apple peelings work too!
The most important thing is the type of tomato that you are growing. Some tomato types, especially the older ones , are juicier and have a better flavour than some of the more modern introductions.Some of the older one's like moneymaker or Alicante are really nice as are the smaller fruits of Gardeners Delight. If you have a dryish pithy variety, all the feeding in the world won't make it tasty. I suggest you try 3 or 4 different varieties each year so as to determine which you like best, and then stick to the same variety in subsequent years.By all means water and feed correctly ,no matter what the variety is..
My father in law goes to the farm, collects sheep's dottles, puts them in a straw bag, he has one of them great big water containers that collects rain water and he immerses the straw bag (with dottles inside) in the water. Everyday he uses an old watering can and waters them with this 'mixture'.
He told me he would get me a bag for my toms, but i rather just use plain old water. I have to admit his are a lot tastier than mine, not that i would tell him!!
Organic feed.
It depends on the tomato variety I thought. But you can use tomato feed to feed any fruit bearing plant. I also use it to feed my blueberry bushes and strawberries.
dry dog **** or cow or horse ****. ha''
Buy good hybrid seed for tomatoes that have a good flavour. Keep your plants hot and the foliage dry and feed with fertiliser that contains phosphorous and potassium. Let the fruit ripen on the plant for the most flavour.
