TOMATO FERTILITY
 |
I am growing three tomato plants in containers on my deck. One of my tomato plant’s leaves have a yellow tint around their edges. The leaves affected are on the northwest side of the bush. The bush is either a ‘Bush Early Girl’ or a ‘Health Kick’. They may not be getting enough sunshine. Do you think that is the problem? |

Growing tomatoes in pots gives you a clean slate every season, because you can start with fresh soil. Therefore, diseases are at a minimum. I doubt lack of sun on one side of the bush would cause yellowing. If no spots are involved, it could be nutritional in nature. Fertility in plants grown in containers becomes more of an issue, since you are watering more frequently which leaches the nutrients out. Make sure your plants are getting at least six to eight hours of sunlight a day. Fertilize with a water soluble fertilizer every 10 days to two weeks. Monitor the plants and see what happens. |
