Perhaps y'all will be able to answer my question.
I've got a bunch of tomatoes and peppers in pots on the back porch.
The plants in the standard black pots are doing great, nice and bushy, strong growth.
The plants in the "self watering pots" have barely grown at all, and seem to be dying in some cases.
Same soil mix, same plants. The only thing I can think of is that the "self watering pots" are not draining at all, and the bottoms are getting waterlogged.
It's probably too late to save them, but I wonder if I can just pull the reservoirs off the bottom for the future.
