Thank you, Raybo. The mix was based off yours. I couldn't find promix nearby so I "made my own", and according to what I've read, it is ~70% peat and ~30% perlite. Wouldn't the math make the 3-2-1 mix approximately a 1-1-1 then? Also, while researching various "quick" container solutions, I came across some other websites which use a bed of perlite (also lava rock or hydroton), and sit grow backs on top, and water wicks up through it all fine.

If I do take the recommendation and redo the mix, what happens to the fertilizer ring? That's going to get mixed up into the whole soil, is that okay?

Right now, the mix in the container is still very wet. I'm concerned about the tomatoes
