Can someone please tell me why my tomato plants aren't growing?
I use my own feces to fertilize my tomato plants, they grow like wild.
Reply:My guess is that you did not plant them deep enough. Tomato plants should be planted with at least 80% of the seedling below the surface of the ground. This is because all of those little hairs turn into roots.
For now, I recommend an all-purpose fertilizer such as Miracle Grow. Apply once every 10-14 days and water deeply only once or twice a week. Everyday watering does not promote root growth.
Reply:How hot has it been where you are? Tomato plants don't usually grow if it gets over 90 degrees.
Reply:I'm mostly with Rod, though we've historically had good luck without burying nearly the whole seedling.
I find that it is common to see little growth for around two weeks, but then they take off. This is because the shock of transplanting takes a while to go away, plus the roots have to get established before it can grow up. Agree on reducing the watering schedule.
Reply:The same thing is happening with my tomato plants. I do not think it has been hot enough yet. I am going to wait another two weeks and then spray with miracle grow. Be patient they will grow ;-)
Reply:l think you could give it another week and see how it goes.
l may say you may also be overing them if you are doing it daily
