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.

Before you put your tomato plants in the soil, put one cup of kelp meal and one cup of bone meal into each planting hole to give them a turbocharged start. Kelp is an excellent all-around plant nutrient, which is rich in micronutrients, while bone meal is rich in phosphorus, which promotes flowers and fruits.ig a horizontal trench as long as the roots and stem together. Remove all the leaves from the plant with the exception of the top leaf cluster. Lay the plant on its side in the trench and cover the root system and bare stem up to the top leaf cluster with two to three inches of soil mixed with kelp and bone meal.
