Yes, much the same approach. Ami's methods are sound, inoculating the rhizosphere with diverse species and inoculating the phyllosphere with bacteria which produce anti-fungal compounds makes sense and is effective for me.
Years ago before I understood how to manage Early Blight and Septoria, my Tomato plants would be defoliated by this time. Now, any successful infections are minimal and don't spread like wildfire, they just seem to give up and go away. My biggest problem this year besides the long long periods of dry weather has been those darn Two Spotted Spider Mites in the last few weeks. |
