was it because of fertilizer spray on the clippings? i guess maters like a low nitrogen fertilizer for fruit production, high nitrogen just grows vines and leaves.
i had to spray some calcium chloride for blossom end rot, that's what killed the yield last year. they say when a mater plant goes dry it stops calcium uptake and then the BER starts in.
