Title: Be Prepared for Blight
Post by: supplies for smallholders on January 12, 2010, 11:03:05
Hi Again,

Another link that may be of use is this : http://www.blightwatch.co.uk/content/bw-Home.asp

You can register and get updates (by email) of when the weather in your postcode area is right for blight to occur. So you only need to spray (if you do) when the conditions are right.

I grow a few acres of spuds and find this service invaluable!

Again - Use as u will or not at all.

Thanks

You'd be bloody unlucky to get blight at this time of year!

True,

But why wait until the blight season is here to register?
