You need lots of fertilizer to get large tomatoes. Not much nitrogen or you get very large plants with few tomatoes. You want high potassium fertilizer. Burn wood, tree limbs, brush, boards, pallets, lumber, logs, wood ash is excellent organic tomato fertilizer. Mix 1/2 gallon of wood ash in 5 gallons of water then water your tomato plants about every 3 days. I only grow Beefsteak type tomatoes, there are 6 types I know of, Big Beef is the best.TomatoNut95 wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 9:55 am@Gary, I would LOVE to grow plants that gave 200lbs in 3 weeks too, but it is the Beefsteak types I have trouble growing, 'cause the fruits never get as big and fat as I would like them. Huge types like Beefsteak and my Mr Stripey tend to stay at a medium size. I have better luck with cherries.
I always mix wood ash in my soil before planting tomato plants.
