Why is my tomato plant turning yellow???

I bought some small tomato plants and potted them in big pots in brand new potting soil. I also fertilized them. My dog dug them up, twice! I was able to salvage two of them. They were doing fine for about a week, but now some of the leaves are turning yellow and getting crisp. Does this mean I am not watering enough or am watering too much? The pots have drainage holes and I water every other day. The soil feels wet in between waterings. The plants are only about 10 inches tall. What am I doing wrong?

Could be a lot of things... I'm wondering if they're just in too big a pot for the amount of root growth. At 10", I'd probably have them in about a gallon pot, maximum, make the next shift to 5 gallon, and then finally to 10 gallon (assuming you want these to grow in a pot).



Soil that's wet and soggy and unaerated tends to grow acidic from microbial action. Then when the new roots hit the acidic soil, the roots get killed.



On the other hand, you might have a disease of some sort starting.

Reply:You might as well start over because your plants do not have a nice history with your dog digging them up two times, plus you should not have fertilize them. Plants have already been fertilized by the nursery. Directions should have come with the plants.



Before you plant more tomatoes, you need to read about their care such as watering and sun. The soil should not feel wet and you should not water them every other day.
Reply:Sounds like maybe too much water if the soil is wet when you water again, tomatoes don't like wet feet. But one question, is your dog a male dog. If he is attracted to the plants, guess where he is urinating.
Reply:sounds like a lot of stress that your tomato plants with thru. they might be on there way out. put them in the sun and wait and see it they pull thru. You might have to buy a couple more.
Reply:Lack of nitrogen turns leaves yellow for one thing.
