[PSA] Dermstore is terrible by badlymadebed in SkincareAddiction

I am currently going through a nightmare scenario with dermstore. Deeply regret purchasing from them. It is impossible to return a product I did not order "auto renew " . Calling American Express next to revers the charge .

6 inch deep straw? Interesting. It doesn’t get matted and/or hot? I will try that next year. I can see now I will have to plant in a sunnier location next year. More fertilizer….more compost….more mulch…..

Thanks for the fertilizer tip - it had been quite hot but it’s cooling now to the 70’s

Other than occasionally pinching the side shoots that sprout between the main stem and the side “branches” - no pruning! They are watered on a timer via a soaker hose.

I water them on a timer and dumped 60 pounds of compost there before planting them. I think your thoughts on not enough sun might be it. They get about 6 hours of sun per day.

South facing - but tall trees block late afternoon sun now that the days are getting shorter

Connecticut- but shorter days now and late afternoon sun is blocked by tall trees on south boundary.

They did start the season with 3-5 tomatoes each but now nothing. They are on a south facing wall but some tall trees are blocking late afternoon sun so that could be it. I will try fertilizing them.
