This video talks about how to prevent blight in tomatoes and what I've learned in my years of gardening to prevent it. I know how frustrating it can be to be growing beautiful tomato plants only to be plagued by blight and we talk about tips and preventative measure to keep blight out of the garden.

Greetings, peeps. This is a tomato speaking 🍅. Call me Moneymaker. I'm based in the grey and soggy north of England, where growing us outdoors can be a deeply depressing experience. My mates and I grow under cover in a small (8') greenhouse in pots. Although we're moderately resistant to blight, we don't like growing outside. It's rough out there. Blight spores are tough and in my experience will stay active in the soil for years, just waiting for their chance to rise up and ruin your life. Sorry about that. 😞 Frankly, everything's hopeless and we're all going to die. If you can't grow us indoors, one partial solution is to put us outside in containers. Remove the bottom 12" of leaves from every plant, and avoid disturbing the garden soil near where the pots are standing as much as possible. Stripping the lower leaves off plants helps reduce contamination caused by rain splashing soil-bound spores all over the place. Alas, if your neighbours' plants have blight then the wind, birds and insects will keep your garden thoroughly contaminated despite your best efforts to stay disease free. A greenhouse or plastic tunnel and containers filled with fresh, commercial compost (NOT homemade stuff which could well be contaminated already) will definitely improve matters, but even then you'll be spreading spores everywhere each time you walk in. Fighting blight is kinda like trying to beat the common cold 😷. It's uncommonly difficult. Sigh...🍅

My entire yard is blighted. Lawn and garden. All of our yards are dying. Flowers, trees, shrubs, bulbs. I'm watching my yard melt.

Putting soaker hoses on the ground next to the tomato plants and covering the hoses with fabric mulch or even newspapers would help a lot to keep the fungus down.

Mulch/ trim up lower growth. Water below soil&roots not plant/ ventilation helps too

@wayneburks5872 10 ай бұрын

You will get largerr tomatoes trimming them this way but you'll get far less . I agree trim up off ground but not as much as you are doing.

@safi7521 2 жыл бұрын

the tie up method would be best for determinate varieties they are the short bushy ones

@intercommradio7372 Жыл бұрын

So should you just water below the plants. and not on the leaves at the top? I know we have rain and I usually check after that rain. I've not put mulch in mine yet but I will. I'm growing mine in pots on my deck. thanks for sharing

Two yrs now in a row. Husband trying to stop blight now. Looks like we need to buy one of those torches for next yr. Maybe we will grow beans and potatoes/carrots next yr.

Hi, Becky! I'm based in the north of England (⛈️); in my experience the blight spores persist in the soil for years, through even the worst of winters. One option, if you have the space, is to grow tomatoes under cover in containers. A small greenhouse or plastic tunnel may look ugly but will protect your plants from your own and your neighbours' infected soil (rain, birds, wind and insects will keep spreading the blight to outdoor plants), giving your tomatoes a better chance of survival. I gave up trying to use my own compost because of the risk of spreading spores and disease, so I started afresh with commercial compost and sterilised pots, and now only grow tomatoes under cover. Sadly, my garden's become a no-go zone for them. It's still good for other fruit and veg, though! 😁

Did you purchase the torch? The link sadly does not work anymore and I was hoping to find out what it is called so I can get one.

@brianhoxworth3881 23 күн бұрын

Pruning and mulching will help, but using a real fungal treatment is really the only way to treat it. Bacilus amyloliquefaciens is a natural bacteria that kills the fungus. It can be found in products by Southern AG. Wettable sulfur is also pretty good too.

Depending on where you live you might not be able to string them and trim all the leaves off. Sun scald on tomatoes will ruin your crop.

Cooper spray it is best , high calcium soil fabric weed block best shot

@lindalori52 2 жыл бұрын

Will the blight live over the winter in the soil? I had blight most likely due to crowding. Now, will it survive in the soil over the winter?

@EleanorPeterson 2 жыл бұрын

Yep. The spores are tough. Sadly, they'll be back.😞

@maxsno Жыл бұрын

Before setting in soil add calcium TUMS into powder , then spray with Cooper weekly nearly impossible. Start seeds for a second planting if room.

Hey I’m also from Ohio! I have a few questions... if you grow fruit trees do you graft, if you grow peppers how often do you fertilize them?

@nnoble92 4 жыл бұрын

Haven’t done anything with grafting actually. And as for peppers I load the soil up initially pretty heavily with a low dose granular organic fertilizer at initial planting and then add granular fertilizer again once The first peppers start to pop

The only thing that ever worked was Actinovate powder containing dried bacteria colonies which eats and prevents the blight. Unfortunately the lousy company that makes it stopped selling small amounts to gardiners and only make it in large quantities over $100.

A 16 to 1 dilution of hydrogen peroxide with water will kill the spores.

A lot of other gardening channels have more to say about hydrogen peroxide. I'm going to try it this year. That, and baking soda. I tried Neem oil and dish soap last year, and it didn't seem to help.

Wrong channel. If you want to recruit people for your religion, just be awesome. Don't preach. It's just annoying. You repel more than attract.

...and if you think that your religion is the only right one, then your "god" sucks. Real god would not damn most of it's creation because they don't go to the "right" church. ...or no church. You don't need a religion to be with God. You just need to open your heart, mind, eyes, and ears. You couldn't escape God if you tried. IT is everywhere.
