Knowing when to fertilize your tomato plants is just as important as knowing how. Fertilizing at the right stages of your plant’s growth ensures that it has access to essential nutrients exactly when it needs them, which is why we recommend using BigAss Tomatoes Fertilizer consistently throughout the growing season.
Start fertilizing as soon as you notice the first signs of active growth. Whether you’re planting transplants, seedlings, or perennials, this initial application provides the necessary nutrients for the plant to establish strong roots and lush foliage. As your tomatoes continue to grow, you’ll want to maintain a regular fertilizing schedule to support both vegetative and reproductive growth.
The ideal fertilization frequency for BigAss Tomatoes Fertilizer is every second watering, but no more than once per week. This allows the slow-release formula to provide consistent nourishment to your plants without overwhelming them. Continue this schedule throughout the season, as your plants will need extra nutrients during the fruiting stage. Tomatoes are heavy feeders, and having a steady supply of nutrients helps them produce larger, more flavorful fruits.
In hot or dry conditions, remember to moisten the soil before applying fertilizer to ensure it’s absorbed efficiently. Always refer to the packaging for detailed directions, especially if you’re growing tomatoes in containers, as they might need a slightly different fertilizing approach.
