Found this information -

Comfrey - Rich in potassium and good for tomatoes onions beans and other potash hungry crops.

Borage - Very high in nitrogen and good for greedy vegetables such as squashes and melons. Borage is also a very good plant for attracting bees.

Nettles - A good pick me up for plants and makes them more resistant to disease. A good blanced feed. Added to the compost heap they act as an activator speeding up the decomposition.

Hope this is of interest.

Some years ago when I still had a greenhouse and grew tomatoes, I tried one year out of interest feeding alternate plants with tomorite or an infusion of nettles. It made no difference to the plants, they all grew well with lots of toms. Maybe they don't need feed at all, depend what you grow them in.

Good idea.Think I might try some with no feed,some with bought feed and some with homemade feed.
