Thanks for making this video. 1st time gardener in SE TX with blight on cucumbers and you just showed me I have blight on tomatoes. Appreciate your information!
Pete, I’ve got the same issue here in Austin. Please don’t shoot the messenger but here goes. I’ve gardened here for 25 plus years here in ATX and can tell you early blight is the pits. My experience with with blight is once it sets in, you own it. The plants won’t produce to their full potential and on top of this, now that the heat is up around 90-95 F during the day, tomato plants will suffer from blossom drop and stop setting fruit.
I’m curious why you chose Dr. Earth and then went with copper fungicide which isn’t exactly organic? In addition, these sprays are only foliar treatments (leaves) and not systemic which is why I wouldn’t expect a big turnaround at this point. Things to try with your next planting:
-36”- 48” of space between plants
-Aggressive pruning early
-Drip Tape for watering if possible
- Weekly Spray of Baking Soda solution upon transplanting.
If you would like the recipe let me know, the short answer is, Baking Soda changes the ph of the leaves which inhibits fungal growth.
# Best of all...if you plan now, you can get a second planting and harvest of tomatoes before Thanksgiving.
Good Luck !!
I would love the recipe. I live in Mississippi. My tomatoes need help! Thanks.
Me too. Plz post your baking soda Rx.
@@HBSuccess I used the basic one of 2 tbsp. baking soda, 1 tbsp. of cooking oil, and a 2 drops of dish soap, ( the less chemicals the better). Add to 1 gal. of water and shake vigorously. Transfer to spray bottle. Apply early morning or in the evening to avoid leaf burn. It really works. Plus cheap and more natural. Hope this helps.
@@lainafields Exact same formula I use. Works here in Central East Florida. 👍
@@lainafields ,how often do you spray again? Thanks.
Thanks, I'm dealing with this especially after all the rain we just got this week. New Subscriber
👍
I'm in SW louisiana, my tomatoes have been clicking along great. It's been raining non stop and now the fungus is starting to shoe. Gonna give the Dr. Good earth a try
I find that once the plants get big enough I cut/trim as I go along on a regular consistent basis and never let any dead or diseased leaves accumulate what so ever and it tremendously for me. Every time I pick some tomatoes I trim anything that doesn't look healthy.. My plant loves it!! As a matter of fact even as much as I frequently cut the plants they are still too big for me and I can't seem to cut enough.. The trick is to catch ANY disease before it ever gets time to spread its healthier to just frequently trim when you harvest your tomatoes your plants will Thankyou and provide you with an amazing amount of fruit.
TY kindly. I wish you would have linked a follow-up video from a later date. Blessings
Great video mate cheers from Australia
Thanks Pete I have been experiencing the same thing this year and will try this method. Seems like someone flipped a switch here in East TX and we went straight to summer man it is hot !
Thanks Pete! I have this going on with my maters! have to treat them today.
👍
Can you do an update on whether this works or not
I hear that. Alot of videos showing how to treat it but none showing that it worked. Maybe it time to make my first video?
Very informative - good tips ! New subscriber . Been having the said problem .
Thank you sir to your advice my tomato plants this year is full of fungus and I will try to do simple application to buy fungus fighter in the garden center.
Great video recent storms blew the top off of the greenhouse and rain poured in all over the plants and they are hurting. I watched one video that said to use a baking soda vegetable oil and organic soap solution.
I’ve used liquid copper for early blight for years. On a weekly basis from the time I set out the plants. I didn’t know of the other fungicide. I also pinch off the leaves closest to the ground.
👍
Is liquid Cooper considered organic?
@@paulbua1069 I believe it is
I just found this video and am at the beginning stages of fungus on my tomato plants here in Ohio. 96 tomato plants that I just bought copper fungicide for. I did not see a video with your results. How did the treatments work for you?
i guess im asking randomly but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Kairo Raiden Instablaster :)
@Amir Dariel i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Amir Dariel It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Kairo Raiden No problem xD
I am with you, out of the city and learning to grow. Food for thought, going to Amazon and buying Dr Earth may not be possible the same way going to the store to buy veggies. I don't know how to solve that problem either, but it needs to be considered. Keep up the great work.
👍
thanks for the video. is there an after/results video after the use? curious to see if it worked well or not
I don't have an after video but you have to be consistent with the treatment and it will slow or stop it from spreading.
It does move so stinkin fast! I noticed it one day and was looking for what it was and what to do and within 4 days my entire plant was infected. I removed more than 2/3 of the leaves and sprayed copper fungicide and now I’m just waiting and seeing if it’ll stop it.
I remove ANY whole leaf with ANY brown/yellow and i Heavily mulch with grass as soon as possible after planting to try and keep the dirt off the leaves.
3% Hydrogen peroxide will kill the fungus as well. 3 to 4 oz. 1gal water. For maintenance. 5 to 8 oz for breakouts 1 gal water. Every 3 to 4 days.
👍
@@petebeasttexashomesteading Thanks for your reply. Many of these Homestead channels hardly ever respond to comments. And some never.
@@charlescoker7752 Thanks, I try to reply but sometimes there's too many comments with all the videos I have and I just can't get to them all. ☹️
Because your video is very essential so you will get plenty comments
Thanks for the video
My tomatoes leave having yellow and brown leaves😢
@nickicosby1066 I tried adding hay, Leaves. Wood chips 6 inches deep will turn to black dirt. Where the other just went away.
Needing more air and keep all foliage that's growing in towards center remove them so air can flow, cut off at least 3-4inches from soil, do not all side arm sprouts to stay, pick immediately, most use to control 🛑 early blight/fungus (Advice) everybody trys different opinions and options but if growing organic or not... Up to whomever might want to try this basic/safe/works mostly always in all climates, but is awesome great for humidity hot climate areas!
Gl gardening for the '2022-year!'
1 gal water
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoons veg oil
2 drops mild dish liquid
Shake well and lightly spray leaves even underneath, repeat one x per week, until temps get hot above 70's, should prevent and 🛑 early blight! Neem oil is only good after hottest growth system spray in late afternoons about 1m -6 wks use in late season for blight/fungus/bad bug's! Don't recommend using any Neem oil during early to hottest months of growing tomatoes/bell peppers, it will cook leaves in hottest months and completely risk destroying them 100%! Always burn all throw out veggie/fruit plants that has any type of damages!
Also, there's a channel I use for canning veggies etc., Without using the old canning dangerous heat type of canning, and my opinion and many others, the new way works way better/safer to do! Canning Without Using Heat!
I'm having the same issue...gonna use the same tips
You might have late blight in which there's no remedy for. 🙁
Thanks Pete! Hoping that treatment helps. Going to try this myself for a few tomato plants I have. Very informative video friend.
Thank you
👍Hope it all works out for you. Good luck.
What is the copper treatment please? Name and what is the purpose?
Thank you.
It's in the description under the video. It's a fungicide and it kills the blight which is a fungus.
Thank you!!!! good info. just what i needed.
Thanks, Pete B.!
I have had bad luck also with early and late blight. How did these treatments work for you? It seems once you get this the plant wont really produce much after treatment? You looked like you had a pretty good crop? Im in the south east and alot of heat and humidity also. Was wondering if you did a follow up video? Thanks
I still had a good harvest but even though my plants didn't look that good. Here's a video I did making tomato sauce with the tomato harvest.
ua-cam.com/video/g9wO6FUJTEk/v-deo.html
Good info; what brand sprayer did you use? Thanks
Don't remember but any one or two gallon pump sprayer will work.
Got rid of my receptive problem with tomato fungus or mould by applying organic calcium oxide that is also naturally mixed in with calcium carbonate. Its a natural crushed rock from Nevada called actpromin. It really amazed me. I am going to do a video on it. It didn't help with the kale or collard but was amazing on the tomato... go figure. I only did one application and washed it well into the turned soil.
Where do you buy it?
Thanks for the information Pete
👍
Hi, can I put that to all my plants or only if they are dying (peppers, jalapeños, green beans, and espárragos) just to prevent. I have a lot of white flies on my tomatoes and peppers plant.
You can put this on all your plants as a preventative, it's a great anti fungal.
Yes you can. 3% hydrogen peroxide will kill most funguses on contact as well. As for the white flies. Keep blasting them off with a hose then go to a neem oil spray. They can be hard to control, but I do in central florida.
Do you have to let the Fungicide dry before you add spray the copper spray?
So did it work??? I've never had success with anything but Daconil battling early blight. I hate using it but it will save your crop. I'd go organic if I could find something that actually worked.
Yes it did help we processed over 700lbs of tomatoes to make this wonderful sauce. but didn't get rid of the blight completely. It was getting too hot out anyways and the tomato plants now stopped producing.
Is there anything that can be done to the soil before the plants are set out to minimize the fungus that is present? This year was the worst in Indiana, I got tomatoes but the plants are gone now. May try spreading straw on the ground under baby plants to keep any ground fungus from attacking the lower leaves. But I've heard the blight is also air bourn, so it may be a losing battle.
I read something about solarizing the soil with clear plastic before planting to help knock back blight. Not a cure. A minimizer.
I would be interested to see how this works for you
Can you do that treatment regularly to ‘prevent’ blight- or is that being over cautious???
What do you do if it rains after a hot day/s? Do a preventative treatment?
Yes you can do regular preventative treatments just follow the directions on the bottle. If it rains, you'll have to reapply the treatment. So check the weather before applying.
What about the sulfur based fungicides on tomatoes?
Can you use this for a preventative? Or only when you actually have blight?
Yes use as preventative so you wont get the blight.
whats the best time of day to spray?
I don't think it really matters. Just make sure that there's no rain in the forecast for at least a day.
Hello Pete, where did you get your seeds for the cucuzza squash? I can't find any
Hi, I don't remember exactly where I bought them, but it was somewhere out of Louisiana, Just google (cucuzza seeds for sale) and look for thinner longer cucuzza pictures rather then shorter fatter ones.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading Will do, thank you so much
My tomatoes did not do well this year for me either.
I didn’t know what was going on with my tomando plant and I was using the leaves and branches as compost… well now everything is dead….
Is that copper toxic? You said this is organic I just checked Google and it says that it is organic but it's also very toxic
Copper is a natural element that our bodies need but of course like anything else it is toxic in high doses. It's an excellent anti-fungal.
What kind of tomato seed is that?
San Marzano tomatoes
The early bird gets the early blight, 😀✌
You need more space between your plants, they are much too dense, not enough air space!!
Oh God that's a lot of work holyshit
I can't believe you of all people letting your tomatoes get this bad??? You must have gone on vacation...
It can happen almost overnight, it did to us. Whole polytunnel full with loads ripening tomatoes need ripped out.
😂🤣😅😁
10q
Can you start that process before you even see signs as a prevention
Yes as prevention.
Hear the pain in your voice man... Its just such a damn downer. Been hit really hard here in Michigan this year. Have 85 tomato plants that have been getting hammered as well. Going to really effect my yield... 😞
Start spraying 👍
