Potato Blight

I have just cut the tops off my potatoes as they appear to have blight after you suggested this on gardeners world tv. Is it still beneficial to water them or will they now stop growing?
Thanks Phil

    Stop watering ... they will stop growing, the skins will set ... I would harvest in two weeks.

    How do you clean/sterilise tools after use on potato blight

    Like anything else...a dilute solution of bleach would be easy enough to do. Or use any leftover antibacterial wipes...most of us would have a few of those around the place with a pandemic in progress 😉
