Question by Maria Therese: Is there a natural way to protect my tomato plants from bugs?
My tomato plants are turning brown, have holes in the leaves, and seem to be dying. I saw a small, white bug on them and also found a spider web. Can anyone tell me how to save my plants?

Well, the spider should be helping control the bug population, so don’t get rid of it.
If the bugs are aphids, try planting strawberries throughout/around your tomatoes – aphids hate the strawberries & will stay away! (my mom has used this trick around her roses & it works like a charm)

You take a brown onion and crash it and then you mix it with water. Strain it and then spray it on them.
I am afraid the brown colour of your tomatoes is not from the bugs but from the soil.
Look the common name of Tagetes patula and next time you plant tomatoes plant some of them alongside.
It is possible that the soil has been affected by some factor which only a certified person can solve.
The only thing you can do is sprinkle 7 dust on them, If you are afraid of killing the spider just lightly dust them and you will be OK mine are, good luck
