    Planting is tomato is quite complicated. First you need soil. then a tomato and after that copper with that you need to spray it with hydro-peroxide. That’s a lot stuff!

    What happen to good old days of planting tomato? We didn’t need to add all this stuff to grow food and we were fine…talking about tomato.

    I planted seven varieties of determinate tomatoes in containers in my Roof Garden. I had no problem planting the seeds (Burpee) in the starter kit, transplanting the seedlings to small containers and finally putting them into the larger containers to produce. After they reached 13-20 inches, some of them developed wilt and/or light lines on some of the leaves, which I assume is blight. Thanks. I think my problem was allowing the leaves to become wet while watering at night. I live in PR.

    Thanks. That is great! I have used peroxide, but not at that strength. Will try the copper also.Try using Sea-Crop at 16 oz/acre or 1:25 every 5 days for 30 days, then weekly throughout growing season. This will boost mineral content giving the fruit better keeping quality, taste and other fungal resistance besides boosting production. See agriculturesolutions.ca for veggie program-qualifies for organic production.Enhancing the soil biology will prevent bacterial, fungal and insect infestations.
