    Not really.
    They do not need feeding until they set the first trusses, and then a regular liquid feed, high in potassium is ideal.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Tomato plants planted in compost need no feeding at all until the first tiny tomatoes appear.
    The compost will contain enough nutrients to get your plants to the stage of fruiting, then it's a good idea to use a tomato feed about once every 1 or 2 weeks depending on if they're in a greenhouse or outside
    You could add a little BFB when you plant them out, but you don't want to encourage lots of leaves - what you want is lots of tomatoes

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
