Have you been using the same plot all these years? If so, you need to move
your tomatoes to another plot. Try to grow some in a container, those made
for containers that is...and see how that does. It might mean you need to
try different varieties and different areas of plots and try a container for
a change. Forget the miracle grow as it doesn't help the tomoatoes. Get
Rodale's Organic Gardening at the library and check up on organic tomatoes
and see how that works. I have forgotten more than I read years ago and need
to do a brush up myself. I wish I could be of more help.
