I was under the impression that if my plants were really strong, they might overcome these diseases. I guess that might be true to a point, but this disease seems to be in the soil and affects the plants, no matter what. I have tried using the dust for funguses and putting cardboard down to keep the plant leaves from contacting the soil and some other 'fixes', but nothing seems to work. I must say the phosphate really works best for my sweet potatoes with the average potato coming in at over 3lbs, and the biggest at 5lb 3oz. I haven't tried "daconil' or heard of it before. Was it developed for these tomato diseases? I'm in the Mt Airy area if I didn't mention it before.
