    hi everyone, has anyone used chamomile tea to water tomatoes?im told it has an anti-fungal thingy in it that helps ward off that white stuff that forms on soil.im told its used for peppers and was woundering if it could help with tomatoes.

    :D :D :D
    I have found it in an organic gardening book recommended as useful against damping off, so probably would help with general health of plants.
    As it tastes so awful this sounds an excellent use for it...........
    Having said that, I do drink it regularly with lime and a tiny bit of honey to help with stress. It really does work. ;)
