      I haven’t found it to attract Aphids or ants @Verdun and I do keep a look out for them.. I think your milk spray is interesting as I use milk and bicarbonate on my roses for black spot..

        I might try adding molasses to my tomatoes when I grow them again next year (yes, I WILL be back in the game!) - - although, I am not sure how many moles I will need, or where to find them ;)

            These tomatoes don't look very healthy!

            Are these dark patches on my tomatoes bad news?
