Huge Tomato Plants, Few Fruits: Too Much Nitrogen

16-foot vines with 5 tomatoes = classic nitrogen overdose. Heavy vegetable waste or high-N fertilizer fuels leaves, not fruit.

Fix for Next Year

  • Use "plain dirt" base + 2 inches compost only.
  • Fertilize with low-N, high-P/K (e.g., 5-10-10 or fish emulsion).
  • Prune suckers weekly to focus energy.
  • Test soil before amending.

Lesson: Lush foliage ≠ big harvest. Balance nutrients for fruit, not jungle.
