Blight has reached my greenhouse

Once you have it there is little you can do.

Removing leaves helps slow the spread to some extent but you have no idea how far the spores have spread.

Prevention is possible with sprays such as Dithane and Borbeaux mixture. These are mainly copper based fingicides and Bordeaux is deemed to be organic I belive.

As a matter of interest, does anyone spray toms routinely?

I spray potatoes, but too late this year - even in June!. = Tim

I have sprayed my greenhouse the last 3 years, only my main greenhouse though where most of my crop is. Only one treatment is required as the spray is not washed away by rain. Normally I spray in May.

Of course, I'm just assuming it's blight?? = Tim
