      I use a mixture of equal parts 13/13/13 fertilizer , crushed   
   eggshells and epsom salts for tomatoes and used it on my taters this   
   year . 2 tbsp per hole , mixed with the dirt in the bottom of the hole   
   so the roots don't get burned . I cut the E salts back to about a third   
   for everything else . This is the first year I've used eggshells ,   
   they're supposed to be a good source of calcium which is supposed to   
   prevent blossom end rot .   
      The vine stuff I planted a couple of days ago is doing OK now but Mom   
   Nature did me dirty on transplant day . It was supposed to be cloudy all   
   day and all the stinkin' clouds ran away and hid . Stuff wilted in the   
   hot hot sun , but I managed to keep the wee darlins' hydrated enough to   
   survive .
