It’s best to prevent a tomato problem than to just wait for it to happen. If you want to keep your tomatoes healthy, the entire tomato plant needs plenty of love and care on a regular basis. This necessary TLC is definitely applicable to tomato leaves.
Water Control Leads to Leaf Control
It’s common knowledge that gardeners need to keep their tomatoes watered regularly. However, after several weeks of watering, some organic tomato gardeners will find that they are having problems with their leaves. Either the tomato plants have leaves that are curling, or they have spots and/or discoloration.
How can a tomato gardener keep these kinds of issues under control?
One major way is by keeping a close watch on the watering method. You don’t want the soil of your tomato garden to get too moist or too dry. Keep an eye on your plant and soil in between the times you’ve scheduled to water your tomato garden.
Be attentive to your garden in order to avoid leaf problems. Have the soil tested to make sure there is not a chemical imbalance before planting. Soil testers can generally be purchased at a garden center.
While water regulation and soil attentiveness doesn’t solve every leaf problem in the book, it can definitely help keep things under control!
