@ Conteasy what on earth has the unrotted matter in the soil got to do with blight rising up in the sap, we all know that the spores germinate on andenter via the leaves
I suffer every year with potato blight. Tis is worse on an allotment where some plot holders allow it to go untreated. The only method that I have found help is to spray with Dithane 945 at first symptoms. I have been told that this is being removed from the market later this year, is this true?
Ive just got some early potatoes coming up and two of them have got a few crispy brown edges on their leaves. Is this blight as i didnt think it was the weather for it?
I had blight on both potatoes and tomatoes I do not use any chemicals at all in the garden, I cut of the effected leaves as soon as it appeared and opened the tomatoe plants by taking of a few more leaves to let the air in and I had lots of tomatoes, the potatoes I took the foliage off down to the ground and stopped it spreading to the spuds and still had enough potatoes. I grow my produce in bags and the soil and both survived long enough to get a crop.
i planted late potatos in late march type golden wonders it is now mid june and the shaws (STEMS) are around 3 ft tall is this right and will it effect the crop
iF YOU too have a bumper harvest of gooseberries the topping and tailing is tedious, your thumnail gets worn and sore or your thumb gets sore hold the scissors. My tip is to use large (toe nail size!) nail clippers in place of your thumbe and fore finger, much better.
