What To Do If You Put Too Much Compost In Tomato Beds?

Q: We put too much compost in a raised bed for tomato plants. Now we have tall, healthy plants but no flowers a month later. What to do?
A: Not much can be done except to wait until the plants have used any excess nutrients in the soil. Eventually they will flower and you’ll have lots of branches with lots of tomatoes on them.
