Subject: Fusarium
List,
It might be a little early to start talking patch
preparation but here goes. I rotate two patches, the patch I'm using next yr.
had some fusarium (wilt) in it the last time I used it. This yr. it affected
tomatoes, browning leaves , etc. The last time I used it (in 2000) a plant
went down with the wilt. It affects about 1/3 of patch. Should I cover with
new soil. compost a foot deep? or does any of the pros know what I can
do?
Haven't heard much about this one and trouble finding ways
to deal with it on the net. Help!
I had three pumpkins around 300# this yr. I need to trim a
small wooded area for more sun, don't get any till 9:30 or 10:00a and then
till sundown is good. More hills in WV also. Not complaining but any
suggestions for this?
I was proud of the ones I grew. You've all helped me so much
so far. Thank you all for your help.
