I trim low branches on ALL my plants (tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucs, etc). It greatly reduces disease.

I know you know your mulches, but have you tried alfalfa hay? A feed sized bale (tractor supply) usually covers about 200 sq ft of my beds. It breaks down over the season and provides some great organic material.

Just the video I needed but I have a problem. My leaves are turning brown and dying off. Is this a sign of disease or supplement deficiency? Please help.
@2MinuteGardenTips7 ай бұрын
This could be for a variety of reasons. If you're growing determinate tomatoes and they're ripening their fruits, that indicates they're reaching end of life and will naturally die back. You could have an issue with pests eating the leaves. Look on the undersides. You have have tiny worms, which usually causes small holes in the leaves and they will turn brown. You could be overwatering OR underwatering. Drowning or dried out plants will die off. Or, it could be disease.

Im just confused whether to prune suckers or not 😢
@2MinuteGardenTips2 ай бұрын
I almost never do. Determinate suckers should NEVER be pruned. Indeterminates, you can remove some to control their growth, but I rarely do anymore. It just leads to disease more quickly and less tomatoes.

The last 3 days have been 90 degrees. Our dewpoints are already over 70 degrees. We've had tropical downpours the last 3 days in a row. Summer is full-on, here. It's a steam bath. We always have blight in May to some degree here.

@@2MinuteGardenTips Dang! I’m only about 40 miles north of your area, so I hope my tomatoes can catch a break. We didn’t hit 90, but it hasn’t dropped below 70 for the past few days. I’ve been pruning this week, but really want to try only taking off the bottom few suckers on the Hossinator and Red Snappers to see what kind of tomatoes they produce. Had some awesome plants going last fall and then we got hit with that frost/freeze.

Ill keep preaching it, but your knowledge applies to marijuana (or hemp) as well. I see it all the time "whys my leaf like this" and its always the same thing as you stated in this video.
@2MinuteGardenTips7 ай бұрын
Any plants that suffer from fungal diseases can benefit from getting the low leaves "up off the ground" and out of the splash radius. It also provides additional airflow. You can apply these methods to peppers, eggplant, cucumbers grown vertically up a trellis, melon vines grown up a trellis, etc. Get those bottom leaves out of there once you have enough top growth to compensate for photosynthesis.
