A little patience and some restraint

Mudman · May 26, 2012

I have seen a lot of posts lately, here and other places, where the original poster with the problem is hitting an unknown tomato issue with everything but the kitchen sink. Some people are telling others to try solutions without even identifying the problem. I know people get a little freaked out when something goes wrong with their plants, but it is my belief that you first ID the issue and then use the appropriate treatment.

I recently saw someone (can't remember where) who had slug damage on plants. They didn't know what it was but spray an insecticide on the plants that I don't think kills slugs, but kills things like centipedes, which eat slugs. Just saying, a little restraint may yield better results.

Sorry for the rant.
