Default Re: Towards an optimal Tomato food

Some folks asked for dosage information in the spreadsheet, so added that and called it: N-P-K_Mix_Analysis_v02.xls.

As an example for determinant tomatoes, you could mix
1 lb Blood Meal (steer)
0.875 lbs Bone Meal
0.49 lbs Potassium Sulfate or 1.1 lbs Sul-Po-Mag
For a plant outdoors in a 15 gallon container the dosage is about 0.1 lbs per month.

Keep in mind that this is just for the primary nutrients. In follow-up posts I'll start discussing appropriate ratios of minors, micros, and hormones for tomatoes and other fruiting annuals.
