Re: Has this mailing list died?

Wow! Your garden sounds great! Actually, sounds very similar to mine,
except my tomatoes not as tall, and I haven't used any liquid fertilizer.
What fertilizer do you use that is organic and how do you apply it?

And what is the purpose of the copper wire through the base of the tomato
plants and the epsom salts? I have used a seaweed foliar spray and seen
great results. But I have the problem of lots of healthy green leaves on my
summer squash plants (especially the yellow crooknecks and the Delicatas)
but no fruits. Lots of male flowers, just few or no female. I'm thinking I
need a high-potassium fertilizer, but since I'm committed to fully-organic
only, don't know what to use. Can you advise me?
