I add 50% compost to my soil most years. If can't add compost then 1 cup or so at planting time of tomato fertilizer. I hill 2 times. I mulch now also, since less watering is needed. I read some ppl like to add comfrey as mulch and it breaks down adding nutrients. (I dont have avail). I try not to add too much nitrogen since it only grows top leaves and less tubers and I noticed potatoes give me more tubers if planted where they received full morning light exposure and good sun during day time but shade on afternoon. This is consistent through 4-5 years now.
