If I have a grnerag purpose organic liwiil feed marketed for ornsmentals is there any reason I can't use them for tomatoes?  I already have  seaweed for trace nutrients

    Ornamentals usually means foliage and flowers.  Tomatoes mean fruits so you need a feed that's high in potassium/potash (K) than it is in nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P).

    Check the NPK values on the labels.

    That's fine but do they have what toms need?

    Thanks Del! No, just getting excited for next year, though as it's quite mild my mustard greens and beetroot are growing well!
