Chosemerveille · August 10, 2016

I'm with b54red and clkeiper and spray right up until the end. I did that no spray thing three years ago and ended up with one tomato out of 7 plants. My plants were demolished by disease. The only way I would have had a worse outcome was if I doused them kerosene and set the lot alight.

So I use daconil, copper, bleach spray, and a few others as needed. I have to spray anyway-I have two neighbors whose gardens routinely get ripped to shreds by septoria, late blight, grey mold, you name it. Neither does anything but water, and the breeze blows across their yards into mine 90% of the time all season. So by this time of the summer their tomato plants look like they took a flamethrower to them, and the spores float right up the way towards my yard.
