Aspirin isnt all bad. For tomatoes the salacylic acid it contains induces "systemic aquired resistance". Essentially tricking the plant to start fighting off (preparing for) diseases before they appear.

Robyn I had to go off your Telegram channel due to Troll suspect. Who knows any more what's true or not there?

Also use organic coffee grounds to add acidity!

Love it! I learned gardening from family, local gardeners (for advice about the local soil, bugs, what is/is not growing well right now, etc.), and The Laidback Gardener on WordPress. Oh, and I do Reiki on my plants. Love my fresh green smoothies. Love you! We Are All Connected.

I think David the good is in Florida. You can find his articles and videos at The Grow Network. That's Marjory Wildcrafts site. Really informative.

I have been vegetable +fruit gardening for over 50 years; currently doing so in 2 states, in 2 different zones. I grow most of my family's plant-based food

Here are my 3 suggestions for you:

1) get your soil tested--your local state university will do this

2) watch Gabe Brown's videos on regenerative agriculture---ideas are applicable to backyard gardening as well as farms of 3K acres

3) investigate Rich Earth Institute, Brattleboro VT on using urine for N in your garden---I do.

We've been gardening together for about 40 years! Here in Texas which is challenging and we did a stint in West Virginia where you could stick a broom in the ground and it would grow!
