throu out the growing season, let's say you started your tomato plant on the date of April 12th. Well I would let my tomato grow three weeks befor i gave it any firtilizer. then after the first feeding i would firtilize the tomato plant twice a month. Or once depends on the grower. Tomatoe plants need alot of calcium during flowering. So feed away brother!

∙ 14y agoThere are many different types of fertilizer you can use for your tomato plants. However the best fertilizer is Tomato-tone. It has been especially formulated just for tomato plants. There are three important times to fertilize the tomato plants, when transplanting, when fruits are Golf-ball sized, and again three weeks later. Water thoroughly and regularly. Good luck with your tomatoes.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the fertilizer. Chemical fertilizer tends to require smaller amounts than natural fertilizer. If you want high producing tomato plants, use a blooming fertilizer with a high potassium content, like 3-20-20. Maxcsea develops a blooming fertilizer that is water soluble but is also natural and it will create a large fruit yield without over doing it on flowering.
