Just wondering how do you treat for diseases on your tomato plants. I have not had much luck in the last few years.

Been very lucky over the years and have not had many problems with my tomatos,but did have a major blossom end rot problem last year that I contribute to weather conditions.We will see what happens this year.Describe your problems and someone on here might be able to offer a little advice,otherwise try internet with your specific problems.

Mainly early and late blight. By the time tomato’s ripen the plants leaves are brown and dead.

I have been puttin a little Rock phosphate in hole when I plant. Plants seen to have been stronger the last few years and last year I had one sweet 100 plant thAt went crazy and produced enough for my family by itself.

Prevention is the best bet I've found...and that starts with healthy, nutrient rich soil. I also use rock phosphate in my soil prep along with a lot of rich compost.

During the growing season, regular treatments of Epsom salts has made blossom end rot only a distant memory. Won't be long now 'till its time to start those seeds indoors.

I’ve become a believer in Kelp spray. Stinks to high heaven, but I do see it make for healthier, less disease prone tomatoes.
