nothing will stop blight, we had it once in a wet summer years ago very sad, lost the whole lot in days. Put me off growing potatoes
Foliar feed with compost tea apparently

No apologies for repeat posting.  This link suggests foliar feeding to combat blight organically.   http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/lateblight.html
Same page has compost tea recipe (search for Gerritsen)
