FAQs

How often should I use Westland Big Tom Tomato Food?

Apply the diluted feed every two weeks throughout the main growing season, from spring to summer, to maintain optimal plant health and fruiting.

Can I use this on edible plants other than tomatoes?

Yes, it is suitable for other fruiting plants like peppers, aubergines, and cucumbers, as well as flowering plants to encourage more blooms.

What does 'PlantSense Technology' do?

PlantSense Technology, combined with the wetting agent, helps the plant absorb water and nutrients more efficiently, improving overall health and reducing stress.

How do I mix the feed?

Mix one capful (10ml) of the liquid feed with one litre of water. Always shake the bottle well before mixing.

What should I do if I accidentally use the feed undiluted?

If undiluted feed has been applied, water the plant thoroughly with plain water to help dilute and wash away the excess nutrients. Monitor the plant closely for signs of stress.

Is this product safe for pets?

While not intended for consumption, it's best to store the product out of reach of pets and wash hands after use to avoid accidental ingestion.

What is the shelf life of the product?

The product should be stored in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. It typically remains effective for at least two growing seasons when stored correctly.

Troubleshooting

Plants showing yellowing leaves.

This could indicate a deficiency in magnesium or iron. Ensure the feed is being applied regularly according to instructions and consider supplementing with a separate magnesium feed if necessary.

Fruit splitting.

This is often caused by inconsistent watering. Ensure plants are watered regularly, especially during dry spells, and continue to use Big Tom feed to help regulate water uptake.

No new flowers or fruit appearing.

Check that the plant is receiving adequate sunlight and that the feed is being applied consistently. Ensure the plant is not root-bound and has sufficient space to grow.

Feed seems too strong for young plants.

Reduce the dosage or frequency of application for very young or sensitive plants until they are more established.
