Hi Thomas,

Celebrity tomatoes, okay, I'll give them a try! I put them in tote containers with a mix of rabbit manure, sand, and some mediocre soil. I thought I planted these deep, but maybe not quite 6 inches, maybe closer to 4-5. I did give them a "typical" all-purpose fertilizer at the start along with a shake of Epson salt and crushed eggshell, but I have not done any more since. It sounds like the 0-5-5 is missing from my grow plan. I was thinking they'd need a high nitrogen boost, apparently I'm way off base there!

These poor guys are down to stems and green tomatoes (thank you, hornworms!). Since I'm 40 miles from town, Thomas, is there any standard household item that I can use as a tea to get that level of fertilizer, by chance? Maybe I can't find something online, too.

Thank you for your input, Thomas, I really appreciate it. Hurray!

Thank You!
