Tomato blight
« on: August 28, 2008, 20:30:34 »
Hello

My tomato plants that are in my raised bed have all be infected with blight. does this mean the compost is now not any good or is it safe to carry on using next year.

Any replies appreciated please.

Many thanks x

we have some blighted toms in our leek beds and the leeks are growing really well, I've just taken the tomato plants out, I think there are a few threads on here if you do a search (top of page)  :)

Isn't this why we rotate crops?

Don't grow toms/spuds in the same bit of soil grow something else there next year. Dig up feral spuds?

Things like that.

Oh I thought tomato blight was a air borne blight?
