Title: Tomato Blight
Post by: tonydevine125 on August 13, 2010, 15:26

Many (mainly beef) of my tomatoes grown in pots have succumbed to blight.  I have stripped the fruit from them, burnt the plants, but what should I do with the compost in which they were growing?

As long as there is no living plant material in it, blight cannot survive.
