There is so much too gardening and there is always something new, we are all novices.<br /><br />I use sulfur spray. I was using 2 rounded tablespoons of wettable sulfur per 2 gallons. I am changing that to 1 leveled tablespoon per gallon of water. I want to be more exact for my blog. When I use the formula, Ill write something up. Too much sulfur will burn plant leaves. <br /><br />I have test plants and recommend what ever you choose to spray, spray a test plant and wait a week to see how it goes. <br /><br />People use milk, baking soda, soaps, etc and other more potent sprays. The idea is to make the leaf surface unhospitable to diseases. I even use aspirin to boost immunity.<br /><br />As for seed starting. Im with you, its fun and relaxing but a lot of work. 80% of my gardens are started seeds. It saves money and its rewarding to see your work grow. Good luck.The Rusted Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201342240484835129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848104831213570119.post-69441112817479944612010-06-03T09:03:03.123-04:002010-06-03T09:03:03.123-04:00Hi, I'm a very novice gardener and really appr...Hi, I'm a very novice gardener and really appreciate all of your tips and knolls! I did the paper thing around my tomatoes and then added grass clippings and straw mulch! I think I will add some more grass clippings here and there too. I'm also thinking about a fungal spray for my tomatoes and cukes as well. I'm not sure which though. 2 years ago I had blight really bad (didn't mulch) I was so upset that I didn't plant anything last year. I'm hoping and praying that everything works out this year because I started everything from seed, (except for my strawberries) which is fun, but a whole bunch of work..
