One thing that I did learn from last year was there is a big difference between the cheap generic bleaches and the Clorox. With the cheaper off brands think there is more water in the jugs and I could use a heavier mist. The one store I went to only had the full strength Clorox and I learned to use a lighter, finer mist, when trying to treat plants in the very early stage of disease. I about burned a few totally up being too heavy handed.

I do agree with Bill that catching things early and even doing preventive if you know those diseases are going to show up. I've gotten to the point where I don't worry about what the tomatoes look like, I just scout all the leaves, top and bottom . Amazing how one tiny spot of gray mold can turn into a nightmare in a couple of days if not treated.
