Garden September cleanup –TRASH your tomato plants!

It may be a little more work, but please take the time to pull out your tomato plants and put them in the trash --  no mowing, no composting, and no burning (incineration, maybe, if you have no airborne ashes).

The reason is a family of diseases generally referred to as blight.  The source is a set of spores in the soil and plants, and the effects emerge next year.  So please please please take the time to fully clean up plants and dead leaves and get them off your property.  Ask neighbors to do the same (blight is airborne).

Then plan your garden for next year to place your tomato plants in a different spot, and never near potatoes.  Everyone cleaning up will get rid of this stuff.   from Stimigo Farm.
