Milk is great for tomato plants. They love calcium and need it for healthy tomatoes. Have you ever had tomatoes that rotted on the bottom end while on the plant? They were deficient in calcium. Anytime I have spoiled milk, I give it to the tomato plants. The extra calcium at this stage will help the plants when it is time for the tomatoes. While I was a bit annoyed at the spoiled milk, I was happy it did not go to waste.

Who knew?! I will keep my spoiled milk for the tomato plants from now on!!
I really need to remember this! I have heard it before but keep forgetting it. And now that I have tiny tomato plants started, I will have to use this tip. Since they are only about 1" high at the moment, is this too early for the milk?
Lorita, I put milk on mine as soon as they sprouted. If I had some spoiled milk when the seeds were planted, I would have used it then.
