Question Of The Week
“Why are my tomatoes black on the bottom?”
And like I said, it happens because the soil is just too acidic.
And so the fruit rots.
And sometimes they can overwinter in the soil of the pot that’s just sitting there all winter.
If you plant the same kind of plant in there another time, you may have pest problems.
Also, the potting soil tends to break down.
I mean, you could have all sorts of things getting in there.
So do yourself a favor.
I think it’s not that expensive.
