Yeah, "bird's nest" is the perfect way to put it. My buddy had a panel that was so bad, squirrels actually started hiding nuts in the loose wire bundles. He found a whole walnut stash when he finally opened it up. Took him a whole weekend just to trace one circuit back to the breaker.

Used to think all machines turned to junk after 30k hours. Your post shows what real care can do. Makes me want to check our own logs now.

So you're asking about tomato fixes, @the_dylan? I read this article about blossom end rot. Turns out it's not a disease, it's a calcium thing. The soil can have calcium but the plant can't take it up if watering is all over the place. The fix was super consistent deep watering, like on a strict schedule. Mulching like crazy to keep the soil moisture even. That stopped the black spots on the bottoms for good.
