Summary
This YouTube video provides tips on dealing with common tomato diseases and suggests organic solutions, such as using plant tone, epsom salt, compost tea, and deer and rabbit repellent.
Highlights
- 💡 Encountering problems like blight, aphids, and blossom end rot is common during tomato growing season.
- 💩 Synthetic fertilizers like Miracle Grow are not necessary.
- 🍅 Plant tone, which contains nitrogen, phosphate, potash, calcium, and magnesium sulfate, is a great organic fertilizer.
- 🧂 Epsom salt can deter pests and make leaves greener by helping plants absorb magnesium.
- 🌿 Compost tea is a nutrient-rich spray made by brewing compost and can help build plant resistance to diseases.

Love your video
Nice presentation, you seem quite knowledgeable and very articulate.
I don't see any mulch under your tomatoes.Why not??
Miracle Grow has it's place. It's good for seedlings.
I have white dots some look like a tiny leaf on the leaves and stem of my plants ..I have them all over the plants that I just purchase are these some kind of insect eggs or whiteflies eggs …Help
When you cut off leaves clean your sissors and hands with the alcohol based waterless cleaners. Or dip sissors / pruners in a bleach solution so your cutting appliance doesn't spread disease to other plants.
FYI: Fly Maggotts sterilize their food by excreating an ammonia based product to sterilize the rotting meat they eat. I pour ammonia on my compost pile to give it the necessary nitrogen to work, along with a few skunky beers seems to make the compost pile workthe better, I also add molasses mixed with cola, too the pile to give it sugar for the bacteria to reproduce.
epsom salt is not salty, it's magnesium sulfate…fyi
My tomatoes ALWAYS DIE in EARLY JUNE, when the temperatures hit 90 daily which is normal for South Texas. I plant them in January, and got maybe a half dozen this year. The leaves turn brown, and they die as soon as they produce every year, assuming they do. they HATE my water as well, they like natural rainwater, but some years we are in an El Nino, we get too much rain, a La Nina, too little, so I have to water. Also, I know they get root knot nematoads. I live in a climate that is humid, similiar to Houston, but 75% the rainfall. I need help! My soil is alkaline.
Hi MIgardener! I am trying again to grow tomatoes. I live in Wellington (west of west palm beach), FL, and can never seem to get my tomatoes to grow. I constantly have problems with insects, blight, you name it my plants get it almost from the minute I bring the tomato home after purchasing it. Today, 4 days after purchasing the plant, I found the lower leaves had a whitish look to them and after looking closer under magnifying glasses it looks like mold and I saw a yellow insect that looked like a small grain of rice crawling on top of the leaf.
Since the plant is very young, I am not sure what to do. Help! Also, can you describe how to make the compost T? Thanks.

the camera is aimed between his legs !??!!
The moment you trashed the Miracle-Gro was the moment I realized you are amateur with limited experience. Nobody should pay attention to your “advices”. I do not mind adding stuff like Epsom salt and so on when necessary but Miracle-Gro contains a lot of useful ingredients and some of them are in much higher and proper concentration. In 10- 20 years you may learn to give better advices about gardening. For now good luck and find different hobby.
how long have you been making gardening vids? and gardening in general?
Thank you for your vids – I use vermicompost and compost tea in my ground for a week or 2 before I plant my tomato seedlings and I spray a home made garlic /hot pepper spray on the leaves now and then and I have not had 1 tomato plant get a disease for 5 seasons. Take care from Calgary Alberta. Just a quick question – have you considered uploading your vids to a second site for those of us trying to avoid you tube – thanks
Luke were you really that young? Your voice has changed in the last 8 years.
Retro
I found this early video today. It’s a treasure. Love the hair. You always give us such good information and it’s great to see how you’ve grown over the years.
Wow, you kind of sucked at this back then. lol
Bring these camera angles back to your new vids. Love it.
What would cause tomatillo seedlings to get white edges?!
Haha. Omg an old mi gardener episode
Really nice video. How often can you spray the Epsom salts?
You should dip you shear in alcohol each time so you don’t spread the fungus 😉
This is great!! You’re so young!! Is there any information here you would change or correct?? Thank you
