potato black leg again

Four plants removed so far 

My question; is it always an infected tuber from a supplier or is it something that I might be doing wrong?

All my plants are grown in compost produced by my husband and he asked if the fact that he puts potato peelings into the compost could lead to spreading disease to my plants. Is this possible?

I have it in all my Lady Christls (including an odd one that filled a space in a row of another variety) but nothing else (touch wood) and they're in adjacent rows so I'm thinking it's the seed.

Where did you get your LadyC from?

Just about to ask the same question as most of my LadyC suffered the same 
Mine were from TM

The thing to remember that they can't detect blackleg on seed potatoes, and the very wet weather we've had this year will have greatly exacerbated the problem.

It is annoying though, I agree.
