Craig,
In growing tomatoes here in N. California, I have never used a Fungicide in 25 years. Hopefully, with the tomato plants now "above ground" in their EarthTainers, I should experience a further reduction from exposure to soil-borne diseases.
Bill,
What is the "science" behind the 20% increase in yield with red mulch? If it is reflective based, the small surface area in an EarthTainer would probably not have any effect. It would seem you would need a large reflective area out around the plant to have any meaningful impact. Right? (But I will be happy to try the experiment if you think I should).
