My infected tomatoes and peppers (mosaic virus) are all grown in pots, and irrigated via drip irrigation.
1. Am I correct in assuming that, since my tools need disinfection (my hands!), that I will have to toss out my SOIL and disinfect or replace my irrigation lines and drips? Will soap and water suffice for the pots and drips?
2. My herbs (basil and mint) grew side-by-side with my tomatoes and peppers. Should I be treating them the same? I'm assuming so (but don't know), because I don't think that aphids, etc., are non-migratory...
