My outdoor toms (Costoluto Fiorentino and Gardener's Delight) got wiped out by blight. Not too disappointed as I had a fantastic crop, and I've got gallons of tomato sauce and soup etc in the freezer. (Great recipes on the site by the way).

I've burnt the plants and the fruit I couldn't use, and carefully removed leaf remnants from the soil (as much as I can).

Is there anything else I should do to control the infection? Any treatment of the soil?

Other crops growing close are some Sarpo Axona potatoes (supposedly blight resistant?), sweet peppers, chili peppers and aubergines.

I'll be making some changes on the plot in the next couple of months and planting soft fruit in the area where the toms have been.

Thanks for any advice

tomato blight will not persist in the soil, it is airborne and arrives when the humidity is a the right level for it.

Dave, thank you for that reply. I too had blight and was wondering what I should do

can you compost the plants?

I would, but then again I compost pretty much everything..
