Tomato Transplants with Yellow Leaf Edges & Browning: Too Much Fertilizer? - TRG 2015
Tips, Tricks
We like to add a lot of stuff to our gardens. With tomato transplants you can run the risk of using too much fertilizer. Fertilizer can build up and harm your transplants when they are in small cells and cups. They don't get rain, so there is no flushing of the soil. Every issue with your transplants is not always caused by a lack of nutrients, it can be caused by too much. If your transplants have been fed regularly with a balanced feed... consider doing nothing when you see yellow edges. Check out my vegetable gardening blog: The Rusted Garden.

Hi Gary, I have noticed this on my cucumber plants. Could this be a sign of too much fertilizer? It is a yellow lining around the edge of the leaves. I have them in a raised bed with the bottom layer of cardboard and horse manure, then a layer of leaves then garden and top soil mixed. I have not added anything besides an occasional pepper spray for bugs and an Epsom salt dilution once or twice. Oh and one application of worm castings at least a month ago...

Is there a point to planting tomatoes at different intervals? I have a quite a limited space, and I planted a few tomatoes all at once, all of which are huge now over 2m tall and flowering like crazy, and they'll hold probably until December (Middle East climate). Is there a reason for this, other than to just have fruit at different intervals?

This explains what happened to my tomatoes when I first planted them indoors! They're huge now, in my garden & doing perfectly fine! Thanks!

Thank you my tumbling toms have started to get bad brown leaves just after one week of planting out and i used lots of fish blood and bone .they are in hanging baskets should i take out compost and re plant with regular compost?

I think you feed your plants entirely too much and too often. building good soil that contains all the nutrients, micro and macro, should be all a plant needs. you waste too much money on fertilizers. I got a question, how much money have you spent on gardening supplies just this year? including your allotment and home garden.

Aren't yellow leaf edges (edited) indicator of Potassium deficiency?
-
Gary, Do you think that worm castings alone, are enough fertilizer for tomato plants ?

I thought the yellowing was a normal process! Cute little garden guard dog you have!
