They are not overwatered. I water just until I see a little seapage from the bottom of the pots. Big plants, warm and breezy days mean a lot of transpiration. You are using pots and you admit that these dry out daily. Either take on board the message the BER comes as a result of inconsistent watering, which is what you are doing by using pots, or start planting your toms in the ground where they might have a fighting chance to avoid BER. I guess I am finding it hard to believe that these plants require such a delicate balance to thrive, or even do reasonably well. You seem to be increasing the difficulty by looking at everything but the most obvious. Toms aren't all that delicate. They aren't as tough as old boots, but they also aren't very hard to grow if you live in a climate where there is sufficient heat. If you have 2 ft pots that dry out during the day, you have enough heat. Reread the thread. If you sort out your watering problems and then still have problems, that is the time to come back with questions about additives or other problems etc. I do not have a watering issue. None, zip, nada, zero. There seems to be someone posting using your name and saying different things over several posts. I'll repeat, it is *not* a watering issue. Unless these damn things are so delicate they rot out if the moisture fluctuates 1%. Your story has changed. You really should have reread what you wrote because "Paul M. Cook" has told us about his inconsistent watering: 1) "Paul M. Cook" wrote in message No water stress such as dry roots. I water every day as it is quite warm and the pots dry fast. 2) "Paul M. Cook" wrote in message My pots get a gallon of water a day and if I do not water in the morning I get a little wilt by afternoon. This whole uniform water has me puzzled. I mean those plants do grow in the wild and surely a consistently moist soil is not something they enjoy. 3) "Paul M. Cook" wrote in message I water daily because the plants suck up all the water during the day. They are not overwatered. I water just until I see a little seapage from the bottom of the pots. Big plants, warm and breezy days mean a lot of transpiration. 4) "Paul M. Cook" wrote in message I just water the plant as much as it needs. (snip) When the moisture level at 3-4 inches is just above the dry mark I add water. Some days are cool enough I don't add water for 2 days, others every day. This whole thing has turned into quite the conspiracy theory for you, hasn't it. Get over yourself. This is a garden group and we're talking watering plants. Maybe you're just taking a break anticipating the rapture while amusing yourself on World Net Daily? The only conspiracy here is in your head. We are here to talk about gardening. So why would you ask a question and then ignore all the people who told you about BER and inconsistent watering? I didn't. You did. LOL. Sure you took on board that there was a strong connection between BER and inconsitent watering! You read "dry" as in "dried out" and then you thought you found some chink in somebody's armor and you went for it. It's typical newsgroup bullshit. You told us a story of inconsistent watering. In fact you even changed your story about how often you watered. And now you blame me for noticing that you changed your story. Highly inventive of you, but stupid. The rest of us aren't here for your convenience. If you want advice then put some effort into thinking about the responses you're given. If you are going to tell us a whole heap of different stories about your watering habits, if you are not going to take advice that is kindly given, then don't be at all surprised when someone gets sick of your idiocy and yanks your choker chain to try to bring you to heel. Dumbass - YOU are confused. Not me. YOU. I KNOW what I wrote and I KNOW what I meant. Temper, temper! Only foul mouthed snivelling little guttersnipes use that sort of language. You however seem hell bent on turning this into a ****ing war. In case you missed it, and you did, I am quite appreciative of those who help. Well I did miss it because you didn't say thank you to anyone. In fact over the years I have spend countless hours being just such a supportive person on a host of subjects. But you I don't like because you're an OCD whacko PITA who would argue about anything. So just put me in the killfile and go away. Because that is exactly what I am doing to you. Bye, bye little fellow. |
