Sorry - I meant tomato plants really don't need much fertilizer.   Some
people equate big plants = heavy fertilization(wd?).   Too much
nitrogen and you get massive plants and few tomatoes.   So far I just
fertilized at planting time (late May).     Compost should feed the
plants the remainder of the year.
