"I am not optimistic about growing a 9.5 lb tomato..." this is almost exactly what I said in 2020:

http://bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=321271

Added a bag of starbucks coffee to the potato/tomato patch. About 10 lbs. That plus everything else should give the baseline fertility and nitrogen I want. I was hesitant to add much nitrogen before, but the rain has just been too much. It removes too many nutrients. If I want good results I've got to add them back. Not every nutrient gets washed out equally. I'll have to check my notes or do some testing eventually, but probably boron and nitrogen are two of the ones that disappear. I think ammonium might be the most soluble ion, if not nitrate.
