Some green june beetle grubs (Cotinis nitida) I found in my compost pile yesterday.
>>1012490It should be fine. The only major pests that hide in mulch are slugs when it is during a rainy season and squash bugs. If you have a squash bug problem, I'd forgo using mulch. For slugs, just wait until the rainy season is over in your area then use mulch.

>>1012515>>1012534>>1012544Treat tomatillos like tomatoes or peppers. They are in the nightshade family. I've grown them for many years. If you have mulch on the soil, rake it back to allow the soil to dry out faster until the rains pass. You may want to repot it with better draining soil. It is REALLY yellow. lol The soil you are using really holds a lot of water.
FYI, when I use containers as pots, I also drill two rows of drainage holes on the bottom of the sides. One row is as close to the bottom as possible and the second row is about 1/2 an inch above. It really aids in drainage and preventing pooling even with holes underside on the bottom.
>>1012556>>1012571Heat over 80F will make them wilt. Yellowing of bottoms leaves is normally overwatering. If they get white splitches on tops of the leaves it will be from too much sun because they are not hardened off properly. Newer leaves should be immune to that. I can see sun damage on those bottom leaves, fyi.

Hey, does the water come out of those pipes kind of foamy for a little bit then clear up? I always let my garden hoses run for a while, dumping the foamy water out, before using them on my plants. Some hoses are way worse than others. It is almost like there's soap, but it will fizzle out moderately quick, unlike soap.
