[Communications] Gardener with question about tomato disease

[Kasey Eaves]

There are products and there are many home recipes for fungicides. There are also organic and inorganic versions. Without knowing her garden values its hard to make a recommendation. 

Personally we use Copper Fungicide in gardens this time of year. And then we make sure we treat the healthy plants nearby as well to stop it from spreading. 

I hope this is helpful.

Many are curled. And then some leaves are yellow with the small spots. Is it a bacterial or fungal issue? Can she do something to treat it?
