Question by pumpkin: What is an inexpensive tomato planting solution?
I’ve never done anything special when planting my tomato plants. Someone suggested I try something that’s supposed to make them grow better and increase my yield. Well, I don’t have a lot of money to spend buying special ingredients to use in my tomato planting. Is there something inexpensive I can buy? The recipe I got from Volunteer Gardener (blood meal, epsom salts, green sand and bone meal) sounds a bit over my budget.

With low temperatures inching up, it's tomato–planting time
The nighttime temperatures are now hovering in the 50s most days, which means it's time to plant tomatoes, according to Sharon Weddle of Sharon's Nursery in Newhall. Weddle had an assortment of plant starts at the downtown Ventura farmers market.

Tomatoes need potassium mainly. To get a bigger yield just buy a small container full, cheap shops usually sell this.
Buy a small container of Blood and Bone fertilizer. It goes a long way.
I always recommend Miracle-Gro for Tomatoes (not the regular kind). Pour a cup of the mixture on when you plant, and again as per the instructions. Also, we planted under black plastic, which means you lay out a roll of black plastic, making sure you anchor down the edges well. Then cut X’s in it every 3′ or so. Weight a spot down so the X doesn’t blow up, and plant your tomato plant in the X. This will not only keep out weeds, it will also hold in heat and moisture.
