Product Information

Full details

This 1-litre concentrated tomato feed from STORM TRADING GROUP is designed for gardeners seeking simple, accurate feeding to boost tomato plant health and fruit production. Its primary benefit is delivering balanced nutrients evenly to the root system, promoting healthy growth and a more abundant harvest. A potential consideration is that it requires dilution with water, meaning users must follow mixing instructions precisely for optimal results. This versatile feed supports outdoor, greenhouse, and container-grown tomatoes, as well as peppers and cucumbers.

FAQs

How often should I use this tomato feed?

It is generally recommended to apply the diluted feed every 1-2 weeks throughout the growing season, especially when plants are actively growing, flowering, and setting fruit. Always check the product label for specific guidance.

Can I use this feed for seedlings?

This feed is primarily formulated for fruiting plants. For seedlings, a specialized seedling or general-purpose feed at a much lower concentration might be more appropriate. Using this concentrated feed on young seedlings could be too strong.

What is the shelf life of the concentrated feed?

When stored correctly in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place, the concentrated feed typically maintains its efficacy for at least two growing seasons.

Can this feed be used with hydroponic systems?

While this feed is designed for soil-based applications, its nutrient profile might be adaptable for certain hydroponic systems. However, it's crucial to research compatibility and adjust nutrient levels carefully, as hydroponic systems have precise requirements.

What vegetables other than tomatoes can I feed with this product?

This feed is also suitable for other fruiting vegetables such as peppers, cucumbers, aubergines (eggplants), and chillies, as they share similar nutritional needs during their fruiting phase.

How do I mix the concentrate with water?

Refer to the instructions on the product label for the exact dilution ratio. Typically, you would add a specified amount of concentrate (e.g., 10-20ml) to a litre of water and stir well.

Troubleshooting

Plants showing yellowing leaves

This may indicate a nutrient deficiency. Ensure the feed is mixed at the correct ratio and applied regularly. Consider if environmental factors like watering or light are also adequate.

No improvement in fruiting

Check if the feed is being applied consistently throughout the flowering and fruiting stages. Ensure plants are receiving adequate sunlight and pollination.

Concentrate appears to have separated or solidified

Store the product as recommended. If separation occurs, try shaking the container vigorously before mixing. If the product is significantly changed in appearance or smell, it may be best to discontinue use.

Plants appear scorched or damaged after application

The feed may have been applied too strongly (incorrect dilution ratio) or directly onto foliage in strong sunlight. Always follow mixing instructions precisely and apply to the soil around the base of the plant, preferably in the early morning or late evening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is a liquid concentrate and must be diluted with water before application. Always refer to the product packaging for specific mixing ratios, as these can vary. A common ratio is 10-20ml of concentrate per litre of water, but this should be confirmed.

Compatibility: This feed is compatible with most common soil types and growing media, including potting compost, grow bags, and garden soil. It is suitable for use in outdoor garden beds, raised beds, containers, and greenhouse environments.

Care: Store the concentrate in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Ensure the container is stored upright to prevent leaks. After mixing, use the diluted solution promptly; do not store mixed feed for extended periods.
