Stump of the World

[beefyboy]

I can get you some Cowlicks, just send me a P.M.

[Tormato]

Aunt Ginny's Purple is my favorite tomato. It has always out-produced Stump Of The World, for me. Perhaps this is because I give AGP the best spot in the garden.

I will have seed in 2 weeks, my plant is nice
Also its September now, i got the 7 big fruit in late July from this plant, I used Neptune Fertilizer to get new flowers and these fruits, second crop!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do primarily use Neptune fertilizer?I used garden tone
To start with but changed over to fish emulsion.
Looking at the size of those tomatoes makes me want to give that Neptune stuff a try.

Neptune's is a fish emulsion. I have used it for years, and have been extremely pleased with the results. Here in the PNW, Alaskan Fishermans is easier to find. I have seen little. if any difference in performance between the two. They both give me as good a tomato as I can expect in our cool summers.

Does the fish emulsion you use contain any seaweed? I hear that kelp is good
for growing tomatoes.

[RinTinTin]

I have used both the "fish", and "fish/seaweed" combo. The one with kelp seems to do even better than the straight fish. They are not cheap, but IMHO, are worth it. They are also cert. Organic. Since they are a high concentrate, a little goes a long way.

[FILMNET]

all Neptunes are organic, they are 10 miles north from me. Here is some more from Maine,

I am really considering a fish emulsion and seaweed
Based fertilizer for next year. The garden tone I tried
Just did not seem to do a whole lot for my plants.
Maybe I should have used tomato tone along with
The fish emulsion.

[FILMNET]

they are the best for the dirt, they are in the dirt for years

[RinTinTin]

They are also great as a foliar spray. I wouldn't even grow 'maters without it.

I add compost and manure to the soil in the spring, and then I add Garden Tone when I plant the tomatoes. For the pots, I just mix in Garden Tone with the potting mix. Then I fertilize with fish emulsion during the growing season. That has worked well for me.
