tomatoes & manure

-- [ From: nonayobusiness * EMC.Ver #2.3 ] --

Dear Jess, When fertilizing tomatoes and other stuff that you are growing
for fruits, be careful not to use too MUCH manure, because it's high in
nitrogen.  If you use an unbalanced amount of it, you'll end up with lots
of gorgeous foliage and not many flowers ->fruit.  By unbalanced, I mean in
ratio with how much potassium and phosphorus is being added.  I think that
one of the more esoteric individuals on this list could talk about this
with more authority than I.  I make compost that has manure in it, but
along with all kinds of leaves grass, and kitchen stuff.  Along with this,
I use 5-10-5 fertilizer, so I know that I'm not going to make the plants OD
on one nutrient only.  Lauren B.
