I had two potato plant’s leaves turn black, and they both started to “die”. I sprayed them, and the surrounding plants with 50:50 clorox:water mix. The plants came back, growing new leaves, and now look fully healthy. Now I have a tomato plant that the leaves are turning yellow, and the entire plant looks sick. Adjoining plants are healthy. So, I have sprayed the “sick” plant with the clorox:water mix and will let you know if that “heals” the plant. If that doesn’t work, do you have any suggestions?

One of the least useful web sites. What about North Texas gardening. Heck the soil area dosnt even list the soil types or ph scale in regions. What is this site for? Let me go to a web site that isnt based in Texas to find the info i need for North Texas. Really should pull your site up on the lack of info here

There is a bright yellow ring on the ground in my garden… it seems slimmy. Is this some kind of fungus or bacteria?

It could be Leaf & Crown Rot, a fungal disease that behaves as you have described. Poor drainage and overwatering are said to be contributing factors. Several websites recommend sprinkling cornmeal around the base of the plants, as this seems to inhibit the spread of the disease.

This is not a reply buy a question. Do you have any idea why my liropi is turning brown and dying out? It seems to move from clump to clump.
