Spray with copper, start early and spray often. I've had very good

on my heirloom tomatoes with this method.


copper is a poison to many creatures.
i would not advise this at all.


All metals are poisonous in extreme amounts. I believe copper is still
listed as organic by OMRI (organic materials research institute).


fungal problems can be controlled in
many other ways that don't involve
poisons.
