Hello fellow gardeners! I'm wondering if anyone has used seaweed fertilizer for their tomato plants? What kind of results did you get and were you happy with the yield, size and taste?  
 
On the other hand, what is your favorite go to for fertilizer?  
 
Thanks!

Previously, I never bothered to do anything special with my tomatoes other than follow crop rotations (tomatoes the year after beans/peas were in that spot generally, as they fix nitrogen in the soil that the tomatoes can then use) and amending soil with our home made compost. I've always had excellent yields.  
 
This year, I have added bone meal when I planted to encourage root growth, hoping to reduce watering. That was my sole motivator for adding it.  
 
We have a variety of tomatoes too, to stagger our yields so not everything ripens all at once. A mix of varieties and determinate/indeterminate. The determinate plants tend to yield more, but you have to be prepared for a lot at one time!! LOL

I used it a couple of years ago. I didn't find it made a huge difference. Tried one of the Miracle Grow fertilizers last year, wasn't bad. This year I am trying an organic liquid (see photo) because I got it cheap on the swap and shop! LOL! My tomatoes don't look very good right now, so hoping the fertilizer help!
