Tomorite can be used to feed more than just tomatoes – these are the plants to use it on for a late summer boost for bumper harvests and blooms

If there’s one fertiliser I’ll buy every year for my tomatoes and, surprisingly, other plants in the garden as well, it’s this: Levington Tomorite.

You can buy a one-litre bottle of Levington Tomorite Concentrated Tomato Food for just £3.99 from Amazon, which is an absolute steal for a bestselling fertiliser that can encourage a bumper crop. If you’re growing your own tomatoes, it’s a staple – but those aren’t the only plants that benefit from it.

Whether you’ve got some leftover Tomorite in the shed or you’re looking for an affordable feed that can be used across the garden, here’s why I recommend Levington’s top-rated fertiliser.

At this stage in the year, you’ll probably be looking for the best fertiliser for ripening tomatoes. I always return to Levington Tomorite, a seaweed-enriched formula that encourages lots and lots of delicious harvests. Levington says it can give you 50% more tomatoes, and bolster your plants’ defences against pests and diseases, too.

Levington Tomorite is a concentrated feed, so you’ll need to dilute it with water first. It's as simple as filling the inner ring of the bottle cap to the top, emptying it into a watering can, repeating that twice more so you have three measures in total, and then adding nine litres of water to the watering can.

It’s labelled as a concentrated tomato food, and the signature packaging is tomato-themed, but it’s so much more than a fertiliser for your toms alone.

‘Tomorite is a brilliant fertiliser that can be used on more than just tomatoes,’ says Nick Wood, horticulturist at GardeningExpress.co.uk. ‘Plants which enjoy similar growing conditions, such as peppers, courgettes, cucumbers and chillies, will all benefit from Tomorite because it’s high in potassium.’

It’s one of the most effective fertilisers for plants that produce fruits and blooms, thanks to that potassium-favoured ratio.

‘The benefit is straightforward: it supports strong flowering and fruiting, so it’s useful for any hungry crop that needs a bit more help during active growth, rather than just tomatoes alone,’ explains Julian Palphramand, head of plants at British Garden Centres.

If you aren't growing any fruit or vegetables, it's likely that some of your flowering plants fit the bill.

'Flowering plants like roses, dahlias, sweet peas and geraniums can also benefit from Tomorite,' says Nick. 'Its high potassium content supports flower production and helps promote strong, healthy blooms.'

So, it might be worth adding feed with Tomorite to your list of August dahlia tasks!

Other top-rated fertilisers

Who knew Levington Tomorite could be used on so many other plants? At such a great price, it's well worth keeping a bottle in the shed. As with many other garden products, keep it well away from pets and children.
