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!

Hi I have the same problems with tomatoes in the Uk It spread from the potato's as they are related . If you catch it early enough you can remove the infected leaves and fruit then spray with a copper sulphate solution But for it to work you must coat all the remaining leaves and fruit even underneath. Ours where growing hydroponically so no weeds etc in the way and easy to get at Growing in a field is much more difficult Even in our near clinical conditions a second spray was found necessary

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

Grrrrrrrr,,,,,,yet another reason to hate Walmart.

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!

One report suggested 40 miles a day. It really doesn't matter in an urban setting. The store I got them from is 2 miles a way. Walmart, Lowes are about 3 miles, Home Depot 2 miles. Wind direction can matter but if someone to the west of me (and I am on the eastern border of my city) buys a plant from any of those stores, I am in for possible trouble. We've had a good 13+ inches of rain in the past 60 days too.

It sucks, it really does. It smells like some kind of piss in my potato beds.

Spores can spread up to 2 miles on the wind...
