No Diseases or Pests Will Attack a Charlie Brown Tomato Plant

Skaggydog · July 7, 2012

In the corner of the paint department of a structural steel fabricating shop lives a tomato plant.

When the top piece of steel is erected it is raised up with a United States Flag on it and then a Christmas tree is placed up there as well. Last summer the purchaser bought a juniper instead of a tree and it sat around by the paint shop and died. The lead painter watered it and another plant started to grow in the pot. Every day it gets a dose of welding smoke, ground steel dust and red oxide primer.

These pictures are not posed. This is really how this plant lives.

Are you saying welding smoke, ground steel dust and red oxide primer makes a good preventative fungicide?
