Salt, I didn't spray, and I think I am accumulating disease spores by growing tomatoes in the same rows. The fungal issues get worse every year. Next year, I will have to spray a lot more, and do so preventatively. I am pretty sure my issues are not soil-borne, thankfully I am too far north for that to be a problem.
I just went out to try to run the riding mower through the garden paths. It took me about 20 feet to uncover a nest of red wasps in my fence, about 3"x6" and crawling with wasps. I did not get stung, but that was enough to make me want to put off garden cleanup until the weather gets cold in about a month. |
