Neoliberalnot:" Using different approach this year to keep the fungus from getting my tomatoes—newspaper, instead of forage mulch."

Are you rotating your crops , or growing exactly where you were growing tomatoes where you weredoing so last year ?
Have you ever laid the ground fallow , or with a green manure crop ?
The reason why I ask is because fungus crops occur where they were planted last
Consider crop rotation .

Well, yes I do rotate. I rotate my field crops too. I probably should try a cover crop.
