This Week in the Garden
Tomato Plant Protection Test:
Mulch vs. Fungicide vs. Nothing

This is the set-up for a tomato gardening experiment. We're trying two different methods of protecting tomato plants against blight. We've got three identical sweet 100 tomato plants, all planted the same way on the same date. One's planted in bare dirt, another's mulched, and the third gets both mulch and fungicide. This is the first of a series of videos reporting on this experiment. We will check in on these plants throughout the season to share the results.
