Organic solution to bail disease problem

13 years ago

Hi all.

I asked about this in a follow up to a different forum, but since I'm trying to stay organic, I thought I'd ask here too. I am a newbie for sure, so sorry if my questions are pretty stupid. I don't know what this is (a disease?), but I have some neem oil, which is supposed to be a fungicide, so would that help? I woke up this morning and all of my basil was covered in brown spots, and there was also a clump of small, thin grayish purple mushrooms growing in one spot. It seems like these two things might be related? I put down some straw a few days ago, but this happened all last night very quickly. I put some seaweed and the water it had been soaking in around my tomatoes last night, but I can't imagine that caused this.

I also put some diluted neem oil on the basil a few days ago, and before that I put Captain Jack's deadbug brew.

I really want to save my plants because basil is my favorite. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!
