I've been doing alot of research lately about tomatoes and the problem most people are asking about are nematoads and the way to get rid of them?. One thing I have found is to plant marigolds around the tomatoes. What a cheap and simple thing to do huh?! Now what this does is the marigolds scent from the flowers and leavs roots, etc... Are I guess posinus to the nemetoads and they wont go near it. And it kills them off. And just one planting of marigolds from what i found will last about 3 YEARS! just simply when the plants die just turn them into the soil. And that should work I just got done planting some in my grandmas vegetable garden. I have a link to where I found this e-book and it also helps identify other things that go wrong with the tomatoes so if you would like a link to it send me a pm...
