Title: Burn Bin or Compost
Post by: Need a Leek on June 05, 2008, 18:10:25

I have been advised to burn or bin potato and tomato foliage after the season and not to compost it due to blight problems...What do you peeps think?.

Cheers
Tony

I always burn mine regardless of wether or not they have been affected by any disease.  For that "just in case factor" I guess.

I compost it. Blight only survives in living tissue.
