My new tool in my arsenal against the evil professor pythium and frank the fusarium. It's not the broad fork I wanted, but it will do. I'm am not turning my soil I am actually just lifting it a bit and breaking it up to let air in and help with drainage. I usually have poor draining soil. I also get a crust on the surface of my patch that prevents alot of air from entering the soil. So by doing this I'm hoping it also kills of some of the fusarium and pythium. I doubt it could be so easy, but what the heck. It can't get much worse (I hope). I will be doing this out ahead of the plant even though I don't like digging in the dirt when I have plants going. Also will be done in the part of the patch we are not growing in. I will have soil sampled at the end of the year and see if it has made a difference at all. Oh yes, I'm blaming gary gantner for all this extra work I have to do.
