BTW, the leaves on some of my tomato plants are yellowed with black
spots, but only toward the bottom. Leaves from 1/4 up are green and normal looking. Are these over watered? |

It sounds like your tomatoes have one of the fungus diseases. They tend to start on the lower leaves and work their way up from there. Search the web for tomato diseases and I'm sure you will find pictures of the problem your plants have. Steve |

This might be caused by over zealous watering. The leaves of tomato plants should not be allowed to touch the soil. Water should be placed on the ground gently rather than the water splashing on the leaves. A mulch helps to alleviate this problem. See http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/t...ver/index.html for specific problems. Read the instructions then click on "leaf". You will find your problem there. |

Jim,
Won't a mulch trap water making a perfect mold/fungus nursery?

That seems not to happen. Instead, the mulch greatly reduces
the number of times you must water the tomatoes. On 10 Aug 2006 17:49:06 -0700, "higgledy" wrote: Jim, Won't a mulch trap water making a perfect mold/fungus nursery?
