Forward to 7 min to get to the point. The first 7 minutes is how long it takes for him to put a tablespoon of fungicide in a container.

[@davidlammermeier4884]

What a joke. Who cares how to measure a tbsp. Get to the point man

[@melissakingery4393]

Luis when do you add soap I see it!

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

Folks when you buy a sprayer make sure the tip has a bend in it. It helps a ton to spray the underside of the leaves.

[@1964JEDAGI]

Or you can lightly heat the shaft of the spray wand with a heat gun and bend it to your liking.

[@JeffBourke]

Next summer I am definitely going to do this regularly!

[@sjwestmo]

Im going to start this now - it’s been really rainy in VA

[@AKRAM360]

thanks

[@ateeqmalik3364]

Sir how could we do the proper mixing of pesticides and fungicides plz !??

[@abdulkhaliqkhan3248]

if we use two to three fungicide at a time what will be hapend

[@MrHongry]

If you apply it weekly I have to assume that it's getting onto the tomatoes.. Am I correct? If it gets on the tomatoes how long should you wait before harvesting?

[@sahmadi1000]

Where are you gardening. I have never had fungus problem in my garder. I am in zone 7A. What zone are you in ?. Please write it on your title because gardening is all relative to where you have your garden. Thanks.

[@captainpegs0740]

Can you treat the soil AFTER fungus killed a bunch of tomatoes, so it could be used next year?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

The fungus that gets on the tomatoes is always present in the soil so treating the soil is kind of pointless. Instead, mulch your tomatoes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5u6qI2EmK2DqZo This will keep the fungus from being splashed from the soil up onto the leaves when you water or when it rains. This really reduces the amount of early blight. A great side benefit is that you don't have to water your tomatoes nearly as often.

hai mr, i am muliadi from indonesia..,we have farm litle bit union red but we have problem insectice very much,how you fill i am use baking soda for spray the insectide,please answer mr,tanks....

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate which of course has a lot of sodium. Sodium will burn leaves. Here is a video about a different situation, but they discuss the problem with baking soda. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6G8pZuVqrJrjNU Good Luck to you!

[@Poetaliahmadali]

what are the result of copper sulphate in tomato crop? are copper sulphate control the becterial diseases, early blight etc. what is your opinions about copper sulphate in tomatoes crop?

[@panabanana3973]

Use it early regularly and everywhere. Works extremely well but only if you start early. Not just tomato but potato grape vines tree's like olive trees etc.

[@wintan6664]

hi, can we pour the fungiside solutiion to the substrates as well?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Fungicide only kills the spores when they land on it. If the fungus is already established it won't do anything. I don't think spraying the soil will do much good. Make sure you rotate your garden. Don't plant the same family of plants in the same place every year. That allows the fungus in the soil to build up and makes it difficult or impossible to control because there is so much of it.

[@wintan6664]

@@FamilyPlotGarden Thank you so much! Absolutely got it now. Cheers~~~

[@melissakingery4393]

Do you add soap to it! I'm trying to make something that sticks to the plants

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

You can. Add about 1 tsp of dishwashing liquid (the kind you use in the sink) to the mix. It acts as a spreader sticker.

[@melissakingery4393]

Awesome Thankyou I definitely did that!!

[@mattondo4218]

I have watched a couple different video's, which they all have been helpful, but they fell to mention what time of day to apply the fungicide. My question is can you spray fungicide on your tomato's while the sun is shining on them? I would be afraid of sun burn to the plants. Can someone please tell me if it is ok to spray them while the sun is shining on them???

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Good question! We had our experts answer it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4WumaaClJp9fqM

[@anthonyadams3534]

dont spray in the evening or the hottest part of the day sometime that will cause chemical burn an powdery mildew

[@overthemoon9941]

Matt Ondo thank u Matt for asking that. I was wondering the same since I plan on using the fungicide tomorrow if the rain stops.

[@trinkladd]

First thing in morning will give the leaves time to dry

[@aldavis2145]

Always spray after 4:00 PM to protect your plants, and the bees.

[@Artofnoo]

I would know more about copper oxycholoride...is that safe like other organic pesticides...

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

I gave your question to the Family Plot experts and here is what they said: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpvdppmId5aesKc. Thanks for the question!

[@MsLinjohn]

what's the soap for?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

The soap helps the droplets stick to the leaves and spread out.

[@karunald]

Bonide is annoying with giving a RANGE of 1-4 TBL for tomatoes. IDK what dose to use. (Bonide Copper)

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Which Bonide product is this? They are a brand name and make many products. Let me know and we'll help you out.

[@karunald]

@@FamilyPlotGarden Copper. I've nailed it down as best I can. Using 2 T/gal on tomatoes.

[@pacificnwauctions8285]

Mmmm Tomatas...

[@JM.TheComposer]

You are brave to spray these chemicals whilst wearing such nice clothes!

[@1964JEDAGI]

There's no way he sprayed the bottom of every leaf thoroughly.

[@dojdsneg11]

what do you do with cabbage pests? what drugs do you save cabbage?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

For cabbage worms use BT. It is organic and safe. Here is a video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH-6iHywd7ukiKM

[@claypottinger7372]

You mentioned that copper is a pesticide about half way through this video. It is not. It is a fungicide. I think you merely misspoke.

[@baljeetkhosa7900]

Other man react like they gone for neuclier blast testing

[@MrVasmikey]

seriously, two ads to start with? c'mon!

[@alicejohnson795]

no good to eat tomato with fungicide spray

[@user-dg5qc4zq9y]

[@lilyred8120]

That looks like a 2 gal sprayer.

[@doncarriere294]

Painfully slow...

[@jimdiana9334]

terribly slow

[@abdulkhaliqkhan3248]

if we use two to three fungicide at a time what will be hapend

Thanks for the question! We asked the Family Plot experts, and this is what they had to say: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoOVXoNvnKmsbpI
