Re: Organic Plant Food for Tomatoes
I found this on internet. Here in the States we can buy organic fertilizers. You pay two the money. Here all food is irradiated before it comes to the market. This is way we buy organic. The milk has hormones that is why girls mature at 9-10 years. Organic milk is very expensive. In Pakistan I see that most big marmers are politicians and use a lot offertilizers. In the near future there will be more cancer than ever before in Pakistan. I am sorry I have to say this but it is the truth.
Everyone has their own recipe for homemade organic tomato fertilizer and specific plants they liberally feed the fertilizer. There are some common items that are in many different homemade fertilizers such as egg shells, for the calcium content, Epsom salts for the magnesium and sulfate content and fish tea or fish tank water that contain waste from the fish and plants with plenty of nitrogen content.
The plants that fare the best from fertilizers, which contain Epsom salts are peppers, potatoes and tomatoes. Rather than add the Epsom salts to a fertilizer you prepare, most people add a tablespoon or two to a gallon of water and sprinkle the plants with it.
You can crunch up your eggshells in the compost pile. If you have a problem collecting enough for your garden, see if a local restaurant will save their eggshells for you. Most agree if you supply a plastic bag and pick them up. Speaking of breakfast and plant fertilizers, consider putting your old coffee ground or tea on the garden. Coffee grounds are great for acid loving plants. They add extra nitrogen to the soil as well as magnesium and potassium.
You can make your own fertilizer tea if you have a burlap sack, a five-gallon bucket and a dead fish. Simply put the fish in the sack and tie it closed. Now, like any teabag, you dunk it in the water. Put the water in a sunny location to heat and allow it to sit for as much as a week before you use it. The nutrients from the decaying fish add extra boost to your plant's growth. You can do the same thing with cow manure and have an equally good homemade fertilizer.
All organic material, with the exception of meat and fat, make wonder fully rich compost. Use vegetable waste, eggshells, coffee grounds, leaves and grass clippings to increase the nutrients and organic material in your ground. Beware, however, of grass sprayed with herbicides or insecticides. You can use oak leaves also to make a tea, but instead of the burlap bag, simply put them directly into the bucket. Allow the bucket to sit a week, use the water and add the rest of the decaying leaves to your compost pile. If you make your own compost pile please heat the end product before using it.
