my tomato plants are actually doing alright considering the mild wet summer we've had. i have noticed leaf curling and mottling and the fruits ripen unevenly. like it'll be so red and even slightly soft on the underside but there might be a small patch of green on the side. was driving me crazy so i looked a little and found out it was a potassium deficiency. sounds exactly like my plants. so my question is how can i fix it? it's late in the growing season and most places don't have a big variety of plant stuff anymore. i did manage to find a miracle-gro made specifically for tomatoes with a higher % of potash. is there anything i can add naturally to get the potassium levels higher or do you think the miracle-gro for tomatoes will help? it's labeled 18-18-21

yea, the pics look like my pitiful plants. and yes, i'm going to try the miracle gro but was just wondering if anything else might help them along also. ya know- like stuff i already have around the house. for example i never ever throw away egg shells anymore- i crush them up and store them and periodically throw some around my tomatoes for calcium. so i was just wondering if anything else might help besides the miracle gro, that's all.

In preperation for next year , "create" your own potash, quite simply...wood ash, just make certain that the wood you burn for ashes contains NO treated wood or lumber.
