1 tbsp baking soda per 1 gallon of water also kills fungus. Works great.
My plants still look rough also. This Maryland weather has been crazy. I'm doing what you are doing to save them. Even my celebrities look bad and they are normally very easy to grow without issues.
This is good information. My tomatoes are looking like yours. I am also noticing the appearance of squash bugs now that the plants are in a weakened state. I did not see them when the plants were healthy. Got any organic friendly ways of getting rid of them? I am in Upstate South Carolina
Very timely Gary! I've never really had to deal with fungal issues – but the last two summers, I've been humbled by the rain, heat, and and humidity. Question: after mixing the H2O2 and water, how long is it good for? In other words, can a batch last a few days? Much thanks!
Thank you, Gary, my tomatoes are so beat up, this is really timely!
I'm actually dealing with bottom end rot but hoping that it's just the first couple of fruits as i've read is common 🤔,hopefully. But thanks for the advice.
You are a life saver. Just noticed blight setting in on my Champion 2 tomatoes. I pulled one last week to stop the spread, but this week they are all showing signs of it. We have had about 2 weeks of heavy morning drizzle here on the North Coast of California. The second benefit of spraying the hydrogen peroxide solution, is it kills all the algae growing on the inside of your sprayer, from sitting since last year.
Hi Gary, thank you for sharing this, crazy weather, I just started back to my gardening, ,
Thank you Gary!
I just subscribed, I can tell from watching this video that I'm gonna love your channel.
