    Good idea, KK.
    I grow stinging nettles and comfrey especially for feeding my toms. I actually went so far as to have planted the comfrey.
    I use the liquid that I get from the decomposing foliage and apply it directly to the soil. I also use it as a foliar spray. I also use the comfrey leaves as a mulch.

    I think that if I did not feed my toms I would have a very poor harvest, as I estimate that within six weeks the plants will have used up the exisiting elements in the soil where I planted them.

    My toms are still quite small, but they are leafy enough to give them a little pruning, so in the coming days I shall have to do that.

    I had seen your beautiful tomatoes in one of your posting and that inspired me to grow tomatoes. Now that I had tasted my own tomatoes, I just want to have more. :-D Thanks Sojerd, I'm sure you'll get a bountiful harvest!
