    I trim low branches on ALL my plants (tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucs, etc). It greatly reduces disease.
  • @dlzmedia2792
    I trimmed off every leaf except a few of the top 3rd of the plant, tomatoes ripening really well

    I know you know your mulches, but have you tried alfalfa hay? A feed sized bale (tractor supply) usually covers about 200 sq ft of my beds. It breaks down over the season and provides some great organic material.
