What’s the best way I can do this. The more natural the better, but I’m open to what ever works. It was heartbreaking to destroy all my beautiful plants last year. I don’t want to go through that again. |
Blight is just a general word,it's important to know the specific kind of blight in order to answer your question.
Most blights in Canada affect the foliage as they do where I live as well and the most common ones are
Early Blight, which can appear either early or late in the season, bacterial
Septoria Leaf Spot, fungal.
L
Late Blight, P.infestans is a serious one .
Have you gone to the Disease Forum and looked at the pictures shown there to help make a diagnosis,that might help, especially the ones from Cornell.
Do you grow tomatoes near where anyone else grows them,that
s an issue as well.
Almost all of the foliage diseases are spread by wind,and/or,embedded in rain drops.So depending on the direction of the wind and how much rainfall,also is an issue.
Once you get more info about the above,the easier it is for folks here to make some suggestions for you to help prevent it in the future.
Hope that helps,
