If it comes from bacteria in the soil how do you get it out? I have 2
raised beds 4 feet by 32 feet, have always rotated plants and have had
four years of no tomatoes. I am determined to fix this, and ideas?
If you have soil issues:
one way is to replace all the soil
another is to fumigate your soil - there are products on the market for
this (my neighbour annually fumingated his soil in greenhouse with a Bayer
product)
solarise your garden beds over summer using black plastic and moisture
I immediately plant garlic and shallots in the gardens where I have grown
tomatos. These bulbs, according to various literature, have soil cleaning
properties. I cannot make any guarantee about success however you may like
to consider this option and test it. Perhaps a couple of seasons of garlic
& onions and then try tomatos again, maybe solarise theb garden beds
first.

What if I just take a big bottle of diced garlic and spread it around out
there.
