Re: basic gardening 101

Michelle,

What do you mean your tomatoes are ready??? You mean to transplant outdoors???
It seems too early for that. I would go for the manure. If your soil isn't
nutrient-rich, you'll run into some common tomato plant problems. But don't
use manure until you transplant outdoors.

For indoors, you can still use well-drained seed starter, but fertilize your
seedlings with some fish emulsion once per week. That'll give them some good
nutrition. You many also want to add a sprinkle of bonemeal in the bottom of
the new pot when you transplant. Tomato seedlings often suffer from phosphorus
deficiency. Bone meal is a good source of phosphorus.
