My Grandmother had a house in Newport 4-5 miles inland and I would plant her tomato plants for her in the backyard. They grew very well if I remember right. Ami

Small world Ami and sounds like some nice memories. Would you like a picture of anything for nostalgia sake?

What do you think.

Hey Cran - I'm coming to visit you! Geesh that must be torture living in that island world! No wonder you knew so much about laketainers!

Hey - what did you decide on this (foliar thing)? I would do the one day foliar nutes and next day foliar disease prevention but understand your question.

So I guess I will have to try and keep a regimen of Sat morning will be Exel, Actinovate and Mollasses. Then every other week on Sun I will apply the Neem.

I will do soil drenches for nutes. I will use fish fert every few weeks during veg, then I will apply some jobes granular during bloom cycle, good calcium and myco content. Also i will have plenty of bokashi juice fert to apply throughout the season as a drench.


In other words I've decided against foliage feed.

My greenhouse season is in full swing. I dont want to foliar anything, since the humidity is so high-so I am going to try a soil drench in my global buckets.

Michael, I wouldn't think you would have that much problem with foliar disease in the desert especially in the winter. Ami

Ami:

We are lucky because its so dry here. But in the greenhouse during the winter, the humidity is high, around 50-60%. I am hoping with the global buckets it stays drier. I did have proven pythium in my plants in the past. Thats why I use actinovate, and just put in the excel.
