Well I tried to register for the conference and it was up and then it now says register at the door. Also the dates on it are wrong it should be Jan. 7-9th as Thurs is the 7th not the 8th at least that is what my calendar says. We usually receive a schedule in the mail and a registration form but haven't so far. I thought the deadline to register was Dec.26th or something. Will have to call and find out what gives!

Sora - Thanks so much for taking time to reply. I guess the rest of
the tomato growers on this list are tied up in their catalogs right
now! ;-) Can you give me brand names and sources for the items you
have recommended? Thanks -Allan in WV

>Allan...
In the past I have gotten good results (here Zone 4/5) by doing the
tomatoes in raised beds and digging them in up to second leaves of 2
foot tall starts. I always added some bone meal and lots of finished
compost.
I then foliar fed with fish fertilizer every 2 weeks. This year I tried
some pelletized fish fertilizer in the holes also and instead of foliar
feeding put a good mulch of the pellets around each plant. As it gets wet
it slow releases nutrients. The end result this year was significantly
better. I also talked with another local commercial organic grower who
also tried the pelletized fertilizer with great results. I also used it
for the starts instead of the regular foliar feed and it yielded the best
starts I've ever done. And....bonus...it's Super Easy!!
