The tomatoes I grew last year were really good, just didn't produce many. This year I would like to add some ammendments to the soil, and have been thinking a mixture of blood meal, bone meal, and worm castings.I have a raised bed approx 8 x 16 or 128 sq ft. I was thinking I would mix all three of these and till in, and then plant maybe mid April.his year I would like to add some ammendments to the soil, and have been thinking a mixture of blood meal, bone meal, and worm castings.

Tomatoes are also very acidic on the outside of the body, which is one reason they can cause irritation to the mouth for many people if theyâre eaten in excess. But once consumed, raw tomatoes also promote alkalinity in the blood. And while cooked tomatoes do improve the lycopene uptake in the body, (the antioxidant theyâre so well-known for), other nutrients in tomatoes are actually higher when eaten in raw form. Theyâre also more acidic when cooked.
