Thanks for the tip. Where do you buy "Tomato Maker® 4-2-6"? Their "Where to buy" link came up "404 not found" I checked HD and Amazon and they did not have any come up on searches. Is it organic? My golden cherry tomatoes that grew so many I was eating a bowlful with FRESH Mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic and garlic salt as salads several times a week, got trashed by the latest cold spell where the freeze killed them. It usually happens in December. Anyway, I pulled them so we could inspect the drippers that I'd replaced. I had the thought that perhaps the tree that fell on it damaged the pipe and the reason I got so many fruit was water leaking. Juan Carlos agreed it was worth checking and he could then center the new system so it will be easy to find in the future and we'd be certain it was all new... Sure enough, he found a crack in the pipe close to the root ball. SO, if you REALLY want to grow a lot of tomatoes, give them a lot more water than you think they need! I have a Flume to detect water leaks but the crack only leaks when I'm sending water to the drippers. Also, all the other drippers worked so my guess is the crack was not a big leak... so I was lucky. $4K for new trees... I'd want to try and save those too! If you sell the house, will potential owners have to pass "adoption tests" like some now do to adopt dogs?
