In today's video I show you how to feed tomato plants using liquid tomato food and I also compare the difference between Doff tomato food (like Tomorite) and Miracle Grow All Purpose Plant Food, to see which is the best fertilizer for tomatoes (and peppers).
If you've wondered is tomato food high in nitrogen or which is the best fertilizer for tomatoes in containers, then this is the video for you! Everything you need to feed tomatoes!

Thank you!! I needed this so bad!❤️💙🇺🇲
Thanks I'm glad it helped!
LOVE your page! 🎉🎉😊
Thank you for watching!
Slick intro. Great video and fantastic content 👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼 keep it up
Thank you!
Thanks for the advice! I will def do this. Mine are already at the pollinating stage though so might be a little late? Wow! Never seen a grow bag before! Cool! Subbed for sure ! I think the winner will be the tomato fertilized plant! :)
No problem Jessica I'm glad it helped! It's just a long bag of compost really, sometimes they pre-treat them with plant food. Hopefully will have the results in the next couple of weeks, mine are pretty much done now!
Just found your channel will be watching all great information plus tips 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Graham I'm glad you liked it!
I'm doing something similar growing pepper plants with my children this year.
I've got 6 plants, 3 of which are planted in a soil based mix (John Innes No3) and the other 3 are planted in a peat moss mix (Erin Molloy's). 1 soil and 1 peat moss gets plain water, 1 soil and 1 peat moss gets Tomorite once a week, and 1 soil and 1 peat moss have miracle gro slow release pellets mixed into the pots.
It's interesting to see how things unfold.
So far all of the soil based plants are doing better than the peat moss ones, and the best looking plant so far is the soil + straight water.
Early days yet.
That's a great idea to compare the different growing mediums too! I really wanted to have them in separate pots, I should have been patient and waited for the garden centre to reopen. Let me know how you get on and good luck!
@@GrowIt if I can figure out how to make a video to upload I'll try to do that. Won't be as professionally done as yours but I'll see what I can do.
@@danieltallon85 Ace, give me a shout if you do!
@You Tube yes from what I found the different soil types made little to no difference.
The plants that were given just water yellowed, stunted and didn't produce any peppers. The John Innes water only plant took longer to go yellow, so if anything that confirms that John Innes No3 is pretty nutrient rich.
The plants fed with tomorite and the plants with miracle gro slow release all ended up pretty much identical in size and produced a similar amount of peppers. There was slightly better results with the miracle gro but no massive difference.
All in all my conclusion was that some fertilizer is always better than none and that high potassium feed (tomorite) which is supposed to yield more fruit didn't fair any better than the high nitrogen (miracle gro) fed plants.
This year I'm going organic. My indoor plants grown on windowsills have had a handful of fish blood and bone meal mixed into each pot and will be fed liquid seaweed.
My outdoor plants are getting a handful of chicken manure pellets mixed into each pot and will also be getting liquid seaweed.
do you think a universal 20-20-20 npk would be a good idea for somewhat big tomato plant?
Thanks for the video! I’m subscribing just because you used Kalium!! 😂
Thanks Michael! Honestly it’s a welcome change to being told I say tomato wrong!
Good morning this fertiliser is good for strobwberes ? And how many times give a month
Where is the result of your experiment?
Which tomato feed is the best? DOFF or Westland? If I want to use it for the plant I am going from seeds & they are 2 inch high, how much should I use? For example in a 2 liter can, how many ml Tomato feed should I mix?
I just chuck a quarter of a standard cup of the tomato feed in the watering can.
As soon as my tomatoes go in the ground I stop fertilizing. I feed the soil with compost - and may just add a bit of leftover sheep's fleece into the plant holes (but more for water storage than for fertilizing). But I'm currently trying to figure out how to feed the plants at seedling stage while they're still in pots...
I love the idea of using fleece to retain water! Maybe consider putting your pots into a shallow tray of water based fertiliser (homemade or concentrated), capillary action will draw the feed up from the bottom as it evaporates from the top of the pot, leaving the organic compounds behind in the soil.
@@GrowIt - that is exactly how I fertilize seedlings, yes :)
If the leaves turning yellow then the plant lacks nutrients.
Wait till you test the PH of any nutrient mixed with water. Once you adjust the PH to the correct range of 5.5-7.0, then see them grow.
My quick tip, water as normal. PH your chemical nutrient.
Hi Valamas, this is a great suggestion! It's something I'm definitely going to get around to, I'm preparing my undergraduate dissertation based around nutrition in hydroponics at a local vertical farm, so this is something I'm really interested in!
@@GrowIt I recently mixed fertilizer from a top company, as directed and the PH was 8.8.
Hi would you water the plants before feeding please?
Hi Sara you can water your plants as normal, although it would be better to not water them for at least a few hours before and after watering with fertiliser to reduce the amount that is lost through the soil.
My tomato feed says 2 cap fulls in 7 litres.. I cap is (15ml) my tomato plant is 3 weeks old.. How much should I but in a standard 500 ml bottle... Or could I just but just under a cap full of feed in a 2 litre bottle and feed when necessary
It would be around 2ml in a 500ml bottle at that dilution, you'd be best making it as you need it so that it's fresh. That should be fine for a small plant and once it gets bigger and starts to flower you can increase it to whatever the bottle says. For example it could be the 30ml in 7 litres once a week for a grow bag.
@@GrowIt thanks very much :)
Can I use tomato feed for strawberry?
Yes tomato food will help fruit production for your strawberries too.
Hi. The miracle grow all purpose soluble plant food has an NPK 24,8,16 and yet the liquid one you use is 7,3,5. That a huge difference depending on whether you use soluble or liquid. I've always used the soluble on my plants. Any advise if this will work the same - is it just diluted more when mixing and ends up about the same?
That’s interesting I didn’t think of that. It’s almost the same ratio of each nutrient if you divide the soluble one by 3 (approx 8:3:5), so it could be some differences in the formula or dilution process when making the liquid one that causes the slight discrepancy. At that much difference the results shouldn’t be noticeable!
Add 1 teaspoon granules of that or like Schultz 20-20-20 to get 5-5-5 with dilution which is what I do and then water all my plants I love organic fertilizer but it isnt viable in containers as the soil life isnt there to break down the fertilizer.
Can the mirarle Go use on weed(Ganja
It’s good for all plants grown in soil, tomato food is also good for flowering plants.
So what happened
I never understood why water can touch stem or leaves. When it rains outside clearly it will be wet.
Blight is the biggest disease threat to tomato plants and when the plants are wet it has a much easier time getting in or spreading. Even keeping them dry outside helps to reduce disease spreading between plants! It’s also best to avoid leaves when watering with plant food just because it burns them if the water sits on the leaf with high fertiliser concentrations.
Your meant to add tomato feed when the first struss has set in indoor plants.
Hi that's correct with tomato food, this is just for the purpose of the demonstration, but it's also fine to use a balanced fertiliser before flowering to encourage strong stem, leaf and root development.
Do you feed Tom plants everytime you water and it's entire life of the tomato plant
I usually do mine once a week once they start flowering and fruiting
@@GrowIt thanks for reply...
No problem! Good luck with your plants!
Can you use this on cannabis
I'm not sure on that one, but I think you need a higher nitrogen food rather than tomato food which is higher in potassium.
@@GrowIt thank you 👌🏻
Noooooo
no dont disturb the holy herb
Nurses will get you a syringe or you can buy them at the chemist/pharmacy. Relax, these are too big for druggie use. Except for the one I saw discarded outside the gym. Lol
Why do you say "toe-maw-toe" instead of "toe-may-toe". ----- that gives me a headache!
Because I’m English, Hutzjohn.
@@GrowIt Ok you're excused then, OH! yeah that one woman from , I think it was a university says you can only grow (1-one) toe-maw-toes in an 18 inch pot --- so you're far aheadwith 3 in "grow-bags".
