This week in the DVG:
- We took soil samples (approximately 1 cup) from where the tomato plants were removed. The tomato plants appeared to be diseased and produced very little fruit. We will take the soil sample to the Extension Office, 819 Cook Avenue. After the soil is analyzed, we will receive the results & recommendations via email. This process may take 2 weeks. In the mean time…
- After taking the soil sample, we covered the area with CLEAR plastic to solarize the soil. Solarization warms the soil & kills disease in the soil. It must be done during the hottest summer months, for at least 4 weeks.
