Title: Potato blight
Post by: petefj on July 18, 2011, 08:10:09
I wondered if members of this forum are aware of:

www.blightwatch.co.uk

You can sign up to get an email when anyone reports blight in your
postcode area.  I have already had warnings for North Cornwall

Thanks petefj, I'm already signed up, but I'm sure others will find it very helpful. I think to sign up you have to go to both sites and it takes 24hrs for registration to take affect  http://www.potato.org.uk/department/knowledge_transfer/fight_against_blight/index.html?menu_pos=knowledge_transfer
For anyone new to this site you will find lots of information and check out the blight maps.

Had a near miss warning yesterday. :(

Strange but last year I lost all my Toms on my small veggie patch but the ones in pots just a few yards away were unaffected  ???
