Title: blight (again sorry)
Post by: wilko on July 14, 2007, 15:48:14
 :(well I've googled some images of blight, and I think I, or should I say my Potato's have it,  :(
I'll follow Kepouros advice and remove all infected leaves, but what do I spray them with ?

And ASAP I suggest!!
Also spray any outdoor tomato plants whilst you are at it.
We only had 2 spuds affected last Sunday, and when we went to look today,all 10 rows are badly affected, as well as some of the tomato plants. >:(

wilko, unless you are determined to be organic you would be better to use Dithane 945.  I tried Bordeaux Mixture and Dithane side by side a few years ago and the Dithane was far more effective.
