Tomatoes have Septoria and Blight, need organic help?

by Tricia

I really do not want to use fungicides in my garden to control my leaf disease that is the very last option, so please just let me know if you have any proven organic, natural, or home remedies to help me.
I noticed it this morning and it is my fault. I usually hand water my garden but with the heat and humidity I started just turning on the sprinkler and going back inside. I didn’t realize just a few days of this could do so much damage. I’ve also slacked a little on the upkeep and stuff.
I have cut back most of the damaged leaves on the tomatoes, and pulled a few plants out to help with air circulation. I have also pulled out my basil because it looks like it was affected as well. I did leave a few leaves on there because the plant is in direct sunlight for 10-12 hours a day and I do not want it to be scorched.
My mother suggested I mix some soap, water, and vinegar and spray the leaves, any one heard of this? Not that I don’t trust her but before I start spraying away I want to here what has worked for others in the past.
What organic, natural, or home remedies does anyone have to control my Septoria and Blight?

give them alot of sun and leave them alone and also Vinigar mild soap and water will do the trick like ur mother said and don't cut too much leaves onlt the dead ones 🙂 and give them lots of love they have feelings 2!! leave them in the sun

    I have use baking soda or epsom salts- (1tsp dissolved into 1 gallon of water, spraying leaves)- successfully to control fungal diseases. Cornell University did a study on Septoria on tomatoes using baking soda. You could google it and perhaps find another formula that works for you.

    This seems to concur with your mom.

    Baking Soda is something that I just read about. It is said to prevent the diseases that you are referring to.
    I am sprinkling it all over my veggie and flower garden to help prevent blight.

    Corn meal is also said to reduce Septoria and blight.
    Both are cheap and worth a try !!
