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.

Mixing fertilizer into the planting holes as you set out tomatoes and other heavy feeders helps ensure that the plants will find the nutrients they need at every stage of growth. Heavy feeders are often highly productive plants, so a few minutes spent mixing in fertilizer before you set out plants is time well spent. Just donât go overboard by applying too much! Plants often grow slowly in cool spring weather, so you wonât see the effects of feeding until the weather warms.
