I would recommend using a fish emulsion.
Below is a link about making your own, but it is readily available at any garden center.
I use it about once a week on my tomato plants. Follow the directions on the bottle for diluting the concentrate and applying to your tomatoes.
I also use epsom salt every couple of weeks. I have great success using these two simple, economical and natural fertilizers on all my vegetable plants.
