I have a gardening question, Last year was the worst gardening year I've ever had: all of my crops in all of my extensive raised beds were damaged by pests and fungus and powdery mildews and all those nasty diseases. Is it safe to grow again in these raised beds this year? If not, what do I do?
If you are an organic gardener, treat the soil with natural pesticides and fungicides like pseudomonas and trichoderma powder, and also incorporate neem powder into top soil to kill pests if any. If too extensive soil pests you may need chemical soil treatment. Then You are good to go.
Past few years, i have observed that my tomato plant leaves begin to turn brown and eventually become crisp as if its completely dried up. It starts from the bottom of the plant and moves upwards to the top. I have no clue as to why this happens. It's not as if it's getting insufficient water. Even during winter months when weather is suitable and the plant is receiving sufficient sunlight, this happens everytime no matter how well i take care if it. Do u have any idea of the reason for the issue and the solution to tackle it?
