Tomato Pest and Problems Posted 783 days ago I have recently applied Blood and Bone to my tomatoes and I also apllied sugar cane mulch on top after I applied the blood and bone. After I applied the mulch and the blood and bone I noticed a rotting smell and also black flies a few days after I applied the muclh and the blood and bone. I dont know what I did wrong and how can I fix it. |

RE: Tomato Pest and Problems Posted 782 days ago If you didn't well water-in the b-b before you mulched, that will explain the smell and the flies. Just peel back the mulch and give a good watering, then put the mulch back and another good watering. Blood'n bone is exactly what it says it is. |

RE: Tomato Pest and Problems Posted 781 days ago dynamic lifter works quite well and comes in pellet form as opposed to dust and will last longer |

RE: Tomato Pest and Problems Posted 781 days ago Derris Dust is good for getting rid of caterpillars. Buy from local supermarket and sprinkle after watering. Only trouble is you have to apply after rain, gets washed off. |
