Very sorry to hear this robert!!(yes, blight DOES come from volunteers, it can't over-winter in soil alone) ;)
What I don't get is why the blight doesn't cause the volunteer tubers to rot away.
QuoteWhat I don't get is why the blight doesn't cause the volunteer tubers to rot away.They may not be infected. It is easy to blame little spuds but it seems that only the UK establishment holds on to the line that blight does not survive in the soil. Just maybe it does.
Will a copper spray prevent it from traveling to our tomatoes?
All my toms got blight and had to be destroyed this week :-\Got my peppers too but so far chillie's and aubergines seem ok.Still got one italian tom plant in the porch and a basket with tumbling toms in so all is not lost yet ;D
I think you may have been dealing with an entirely different disease or more than one disease simultaneously.
