Tomato Disease Buildup: Rotate or Use Grafted Plants

Five years of tomatoes in one spot = disease buildup. Rotate to non-solanaceous crops (beans, squash, peas) for 2–3 years. If space is tight, plant grafted tomatoes—heirloom tops on disease-resistant rootstock. Graft yourself (xrl.us/tomatograft) or buy from Territorial Seed.
