Fall Chicken From Little Peace Farm!

Posted 7/17/2018 5:53am by Michael Scheidel.

Hey folks,
Yesterday was sticky. Wow, even during the hot stretch a couple of weeks ago, I don't think I sweated like I did yesterday. These humid conditions are not only uncomfortable but create great environment for tomato disease! So, protect your crop using either a home made baking soda spray(click here for article) or an approved copper based product. Here's a typical recipe from Gardeningknowhow.com:

A solution of 1 teaspoon baking soda to 1 gallon of water reduces instances of leaf burn. Add 1 teaspoon dormant oil and ½ teaspoon of dish soap or horticultural soap as a surfactant to help the mixture stick. Keep in mind the solution is water soluble, so apply on a dry cloudy day for best results.
