If it’s the same as the tomato mosaic virus, I’m sorry, but no. Sometimes prolonged cold will help, so that pretty much leaves us out.

Had one customer tell me he sprayed his garden with clorox. About a month + - before he was ready to plant, he went out and made up his rows. Sprayed the rows with a half and half mixture. On his tomato row he went ahead and made up his hills—sprayed the hills really good. Said it made a big difference and clorox is cheap.

The clorox sounds like it is worth trying. I'll cover it with plastic after I apply to raise the temp of the soil. We have a pest of a weed here that is running wild and we have been told to spray it with vinegar. WE call it Wild Onion and it spreads by seed and little white bulbs about a half inch dia.

We are getting soaked here again. EUREKA RADAR
