The main ingredients to look for in any tomato fertilizer are: Phosphorus, which promotes blossoms and fruit. Nitrogen, which promotes lush, vegetative growth. Potassium, which keeps the plant from succumbing to disease. Too much of any of these is not healthy for your tomato plants. A plant may blossom profusely with plenty of phosphorus but if it is getting too much the foliage will not be healthy and the plant will not support fruit. If it is getting too much nitrogen then the foliage will be beautiful but the blossoms will be scarce. Either way your tomato plant may fail to thrive and produce ripe tomatoes. When you are looking at the various organic fertilizers you will usually see three numbers connected by dashes. These numbers indicate the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the mix. The numbers on organic fertilizers may be lower but this does not indicate poor quality. Organic fertilizers are more easily used by the plants than chemicals.
