Tomato seedlings looked poorly within hours of transplant

[Oliver Buckle]

The compost is made mostly of horse manure that may not be fully composted.

That made me wince a bit. All round it seems like a lot of feeding for small plants. I try to put them in something half decent, but I don't really bother about feeding until I see the first flower truss.

Hello friends, thanks to you all for your interest. I am happy to report that my little seedlings seem to have taken root, and have suffered no further damage. I pinched off all of the damaged leaves and stems and there has been almost no more damage. It must have been some strange case of transplant shock of some sort. I guess. Anyway here are the latest photos: I will let you all know if anything else unusual develops.
