I keep thinking about the soil part, even though my primary question is still about the tomatoes.
There are two options: leave it alone, or redo the soil.
If I leave it alone, either the wicking will work, or it won't. If it doesn't, all I have to do is hand water, which isn't too bad as long as the tomatoes are going to be okay.
If I redo the soil mix, I will end up doubling the overall soil. Did not mention we made 26 double buckets.
Which means will have 26 double buckets of soil left over (or 13 if we don't mix all of it). What am I supposed to do with all that.
Stupid internet. If you search "home made promix" or "DIY promix", majority of results have 70-80% peat moss, and 20-30% perlite. I've never seen the stuff so I just go with it and ugh here I am.
