I do use fertilizer  (same as you mentioned) for tomotoes... and rotate it 
with 15-30-15, Miracle-Gro...  (unless I side dress with manure, which I also 
like to use some... here
in Ok., we can use all the composted material we can get, as we are sorely 
lacking in
that dept...  The soil here is very tight, and isn't so bad, most of the 
time, once you can
*keep* it broken up.
It may be advisable for you to inspect the area that you are growing your 
tomaotes, as
I had a friend who had great problems with her tomotoes.  We couldn't figure 
out the
reason she had so few, only to discover that she had planted her garden in a 
spot that
had been a pig pen.  Much of her other produce was stupendous... but high 
nitrogen
doesn't produce tomatoes,  just lots of plant!
As I said before, I would also pay attention to the availability of 
pollenators.  If you have been using insecticides, you may have interfered 
with their work.  Of course, you can always pollenate by hand.  However, they 
are better equipted...

Thanks, I'm an umbrella carrier...  (If you're not going to be prepared for 
Him to answer, why ask?)   
cheers,
