Can I spray Tomato plants with soapy water for bugs ?????
Are you sure bugs are causing the spots and not disease? You can spray soapy water but it is effective only on soft bodied insects such as aphids and mites but not effective on beetles or hornworms. Noe would it be particularly effective on a fungal disease. When you go chemical free you have to know the cause of the problem before grabbing something off the shelf (this is true with chemical gardening too) Too often people just blindly grab the first spray and spray away and hope for the best without ever figuring out exactly what they are spraying for or reading the label on the chemical bottle to see if what they grabbed is even appropriate. I grow a lot of tomatoes organically and have found brown spots on leaves are usually a sign of disease, often caused by soil born bacteria and fungus.
