Interesting , keep us posted on future results. I dislike buying potting soil. I have a separate compost pile, have been doing it for years. It is just for potting soil. I only use large pots for peppers and starting seeds and cherry tomatoes. I prefer not to have them down in the bigger garden. So at the end of the summer, I dump out and compost the potting soil. I figure it’s formulated for drainage mostly. I add composted goat manure when I pot things up in the spring. It’ll be years before I deplete the goat manure. I also add any potting soil from any hanging basket or other planter bought or given to me.

Eight tomatoes are in the garden. Plus eight more peppers. All are under frost blankets held up by 1 inch pvc hoops.

Two of the tomatoes are a little puny. Going out to check on everybody this morning. I think I may have been a little rough getting one of them out of their pots.

Hope Mr. Greeneyes can return home soon.
