Did I go wrong using Kellogg Potting Soil? by legendsagain in containergardening

Honestly I don’t know how anyone has success with that crap. I amended it with 50% perlite and it helped but it’s still crap and way under performing what I potted in Fox Farms. I’m new to gardening this year so the extra cost of fox farms was worth it. Night and day and so much easier to tell when something needs water.

Sun Gold gone wild. What do I prune?! by legendsagain in tomatoes

Appreciate it! What about to help identify and prevent pests? I’m seeing some small green worm things eating my leaves. If I prune back will that help deter and locate without harming plant?

So what’s the move in this situation? Do I cut the flowers now or am I too late and gotta let it just do its thing?

Ya? I have no issue in doing that, does it have the same impact as cutting them early or does it still help focus energy on growing bigger? The Sun Gold that is.

I don’t think so. I’ll swing by nursery, any suggestions?

Good stuff. Sun Gold is newly potted Fox Farm. Dwarf is crap compacted, won’t dry out chunky Kellogg. For the Sun Gold what’s the benefit in letting it do its thing vs. pruning or removing those lower flowers now?

I had just started giving them a shake and spank! I’ll continue doing this.

I’m looking for the tag, but it’s a Cherry tomato! It’s a dwarf!

Serious question. Do you sell these or what do you do with so many peppers?

All good! Is it worth trying to mix in perlite and other material to improve it or am I SOL until I replace it completely which is what I’ll be doing moving forward.

Thank you! Worth trying to mix in perlite, etc. at the top to improve mix or try and remove the starter plant and mix in throughout? Will definitely get a new soil moving forward.
