Garden Notes
Tomato Plant Protection Test: Results

It’s been four months since we planted three cherry tomato plants. Some plants were mulched, and one was sprayed with fungicide. These are the results so far: 1. The tomato plant that has no mulch and no fungicide has the most disease and fungus. 2. The tomato plant with only mulch has less disease and there is some fungus damage. 3. The tomato plant with both mulch and has been treated with fungicide is the most disease free. Summary: Mulch and fungicide are effective at reducing blight and fungal diseases on tomato plants.
