    ok so my sun is never strong enough to do this apparently. Thought this was about the leafs bending in random directions. Thats what i´m noticing, some leafs bend down at their stems, some upwards, the leafs are sometimes shaped like spoons either up oder downwards konkave :/ it makes the plant look jagged but does not seem to affect the fruits

    I mulched my beds in the fall with a few bales. Come spring, the beds were covered in wheat . Not too much of a problem, it pulls up easily and toss in the compost. or use it for more mulch during the growing season. It also kept a lot of the annual weeds from growing. I let a patch grow and harvested the seeds to see what it takes to make flour.

    Completely valid explanation for leaf curl but here in the UK, particularly in Scotland where I am, there is much much less sun and way lower temp than you. My outside tomato leaves still curl but that is usually because they are stressed from low temps and high winds.

    • @2MinuteGardenTips
      @2MinuteGardenTips Před dnem

      There are multiple reasons leaves may curl on your tomato plant. The primary cause is due to too much strong sun. In your case, the plants could be heavily stressed due to persistent cool, wet conditions. Sometimes, dampness-related diseases also cause leaves to curl, but they will usually be accompanied by spots on the leaves or yellowing.

    So I learned how bad colored mulch was years ago and I’ve been trying to research how much of it I should remove out of the flowerbeds in order to plant an edible garden. I just moved into a house and these people use tons of black mulch everywhere. Lined with plastic of course. It’s driving me crazy. I removed about a foot of it, but it still looks like there’s more that’s partially decomposed underneath that. How much should I remove in order to safely grow in organic garden? I can’t seem to find this information anywhere.
