Q: Tomato viruses & powdery mildew

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

I live in Upstate New York and have a small vegetable garden.  There really isn’t enough room to rotate my crops.  Every year my tomato plants get various viruses and powdery mildew.  I would like to know if there is a mulch of some kind that I can put on the soil around my plants so that the soil doesn’t splash on the tomatoes.  This is the only way I can think of to stop all the viruses, etc.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this??
