Expert Response
Are your tomatoes growing in the ground or in containers? Container soil dries out faster than in-ground soil, and laboratory testing the soil for in-ground plantings can reveal if there are any key nutrient deficiencies or an acidity level (pH) outside of what the plants prefer. (Testing container potting mix for nutrients and pH is usually not necessary and is a different type of test than tests run on soil, which might cost a little bit more from a testing lab.) If you have been applying a complete fertilizer regularly, a nutrient deficiency is not likely.
