[@harmonhomestead7434]

They’re still going! Even after this unrelenting heat.

[@hassanaljazaeri5436]

❤she is absolutely right I did spray , term, separating no success but I have not done copper in ground I try that. Thank you for the detailed information. I hope your plant does great good luck

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@lindalou2372]

Great video and so informative. Love hearing about the copper! I have heard that from a few other podcasts!

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Thanks so much! ❤️

As rain falls from top hits soil get splash and spread fungus , note fungus attacks lower steems first and move to effect upper ones as rain speeds up to kill entire plant , copper oxide is 1 recommanded treatment / note fungicides prevention use before attack and treatment great job

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Thank you! 😊

What's the best time to top dress my tomato plants?

[@harmonhomestead7434]

No problem!

[@elisadoucet2523]

I'm in Robertsdale, Al and I've just noticed the same thing in my tomato plants. 😢

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Yes. Ours look much better this morning after fertilizing this weekend. Hope yours does better as well!

[@sharowe5295]

I am in alabama and I pruned the plants heavy some it worked better but some did not do so well but I am going to fertilize heavier because I did notice the plants were doing better afterwards. You may be on to something withering fertilizing

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Yes, ours are skyrocketing now. Fertilize and water after pruning. Good to see Alabama folks on here! 😊

[@Lyondegreat]

How about grinding the copper tube into fine dust and spray it on and around the plants? Will it work faster?

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Good idea! I’m not sure but it’s worth looking into!

[@Lyondegreat]

@@harmonhomestead7434 Ok, patiently waiting

[@cynthiadeg9206]

Good idea to wait before removing suckers! New sub

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Yes, it’s always worked for us to hold off until we know if disease will show. Thank you!

[@alemaqeflaqech8275]

[@patstenzel]

Thx

[@harmonhomestead7434]

You’re welcome!

[@mariawiebe5888]

You mentioned fertilizing what kind of fertilizer do you use?

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Chicken manure! Fresh and old.

[@susanrand512]

Just checked tomato plants in container, black fungal looking stuff, cleaned my clippers, cut off the affected stems , Ill get the fungicide, all 3 tomato plants got it.

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Yes! And try to outrun the blight by fertilizing with whatever you normally use.

[@theresageorge4113]

Is the tomatoes from the plants with the blight or fungal infections edible?

[@harmonhomestead7434]

I personally cut the blight away and keep going if the tomatoes look fairly healthy. If they look rotten or seriously spoiled, I toss them. Hope this helps! 😊

[@ConstantlyEvolvingDoor]

From what I’ve found in my research (this is our first year dealing with septoria leaf spot, so I’ve been researching trying to figure out what to do), as long as the fruit look healthy and ripen normally, the fungus isn’t supposed to affect the fruit itself. The trouble is that it will infect leaves and stems and like she said weaken the stems and kill the leaves until eventually the whole plant dies. I’m currently desperately trying to save mine because it hit every single tomato plant this year, but it’s been constantly moist, the rain has not stopped for more than two days at a time it seems.

[@izraelmirelez2168]

Can I use copper wire ?

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Yes. I used that as well last summer with success.

[@serainman]

everytime you say 'soil' it sounds like 'sol' the spanish word for sun

[@harmonhomestead7434]

Cool!
