RE: Tomatoes

There are a variety of options.  I use only organic fertilizers- you can
usually find these in better nurseries.  They aren't often available at Home
depot type places.  On my tomatoes I use a combination of blood meal/ bone
meal/ green sand/ mostly.  They do sell premixes organic fertilizers for
veggies or tomatos also (then you don't have to guess what to use).  Good
luck and happy gardening.

P.S.  MAke sure you mulch around your tomaotos with something to help keep
the soil from having extremes in temp/moisture.  Your plants will be
happier.
