QUESTION: Should I use bone meal when planting tomatoes?

ANSWER: You can help supplement nutrition for your tomato plants by giving each hole you’ll place a plant into a dose of one cup of bone meal and one cup of kelp meal.

The kelp provides balanced nutrition and micronutrients, while the bone meal provides a boost in phosphorus, which aids in flowering and fruiting. Because these are slow release supplements, you only need to apply them once when you are planting your tomatoes.

Also don’t forget to consider these organic fertilizer options for tomatoes.
