Blight

I guess it depends on the frequency of attack? I used to get it every year so routine spraying made sense.

 

I'd rather have the blue than a pile of rotted toms any day

 

Going to dig out and burn everything this autumn, previously let some solenacea over winter,

NO MORE

 

I agree, but the thing with blight of toms, is that once it starts the whole crop is threatened.

I hate copper sprays also, but its the lesser of two evils and only spray at the very first sign.

In fact, after the last two weeks weather I was virtually 100% certain I would see signs by this weekend, and I did.

 

It's only copper, you wash it off

 

Don't you have the colourless version over there, JWK? They sell both here, although I've not found it very effective against any fungal disease. Perhaps need to spray earlier....
I've just lost the whole crop of outdoor toms.

 

Make sure your rogue-out every single last volunteer next season

 

Yup, but still ... nothing sprayed onto my crops unless catastrophe looms (and even then I might sacrifice the crop)

 

There's 500ug in my vitamin pills

 

I think why i don't get blight is that there is no one else growing spuds or tom any where near me, being so remote- out of interest how far will it travel?

 

Its made you very thin Zigs (or maybe that Zig's Cigs now I think about it ... )

 

Neah, you want the copper on the outside of your tomatoes, not the inside!
