I am curious to learn if homogenization of the "soup" has any effect on removing Tobacco mosaic virus?

I don't recall bananas being susceptable, but this could be big trouble for people who get tobacco juice around vegetables like peppers and herbs. I have lost every pepper year after year to mosaic diseases, either from infectous pests or accidental contamination from forgetting to wash my hands after smoking cigarettes.

Aphids are a real nightmare, and the spider mites on my other plants are driving me nuts.
