Tomato plants are heavy feeders, and they require a consistent supply of nutrients to produce healthy foliage and large, flavorful fruit. Fertilizing them regularly, but not too often, is the key to success. When using BigAss Tomatoes Fertilizer, we recommend fertilizing every second watering, but no more than once per week.
The best time to start fertilizing is at the first sign of active growth. Whether you’re working with seedlings, transplants, or perennials, this initial feeding gives your plants the nutrients they need to establish a strong foundation. As your tomatoes continue to grow, you’ll want to maintain a consistent fertilizing schedule to ensure they’re getting the steady supply of nutrients they need for both vegetative and reproductive growth.
The beauty of BigAss Tomatoes Fertilizer is its slow-release formula, which delivers nutrients steadily over time. This means you don’t have to fertilize as frequently as you might with other products. Feeding every second watering ensures that your plants get the nutrients they need without the risk of over-fertilization, which can lead to nutrient imbalances and negatively affect growth.
During hot or dry periods, moisten the soil before applying fertilizer. This ensures the plants can absorb the nutrients more effectively and reduces the risk of fertilizer burn. For those growing tomatoes in containers, be sure to check the specific instructions on the BigAss Tomatoes packaging to adjust the frequency and amount of fertilizer based on the plant’s environment.
