Hot girl shows late blight fruits and bashes Walmart

Late blight, a usually rare disease in the northeast U.S. is decimating tomato and potato crops in this region. The source for the disease was from tomato transplants sold since April in "big box" stores including Home Depot, Walmart and Lowes. The losses from this plague may ruin small farms and home gardens at a time when local food was just beginning to be in the spotlight. DO YOUR PART: spread the word and get away from that megamart!

Try using Sea-Crop at 16 oz/acre or 1:25 drench every 5 days for 30 days, then weekly throughout growing season. This will also boost mineral content giving the fruit better keeping quality, taste and other fungal resistance besides boosting production. See agriculturesolutions.ca for veggie program-also qualifies for organic production.Enhancing the soil biology will prevent bacterial, fungal and insect infestations. I used this on organic greenhouse tomatoes and stopped blight and got a crop

lateblight is an air born fungus witch can travel through the air up to 30 miles from an infected plant. for organick gardeners and farmers the best way to get rid of lateblight is to bern the plant killing the spores, not sending it to the landfill because the spores will get blow from the plants and find a host again. i feel bad for the organick farmer but they do make commercial fungisides to prevent a lateblight outbreak

Wal mart is a greedy corporation if there ever was one. They prey on people with low incomes.

Anyways here in London,UK they own Asda, a once proud, quality driven retailer which was bought by Wal mart in 2000. Anyway, sorry to here about your tomato's!

Walmart has a long track record of proverbially, pissing where 'we the people', eat. The only thing the Waltons care about is were their next billion is coming from.

When you buy at stores like walmart, you contribute to a faltering economy and skyrocketing unemployment rate. As pointed out, nothing good can come out of stores like walmart.

Walmart, Lowes, and Home Depot purchased plants from Bonnie Plants. There are eye witness reports of blight-infested tomato plants in the greenhouses at Bonnie Plants. There are also reports of Bonnie selling blighted plants locally, back in April.

When it comes to greed, nothing surprises me. Sadly, late blight can overwinter. And no doubt, many home gardeners have no clue how to eradicate and dispose of blighted plants properly. Late blight could be a problem next year because of this.
