Help with my PLIGHT/BLIGHT

10 years ago

Hello, I have a raised bed vegetable garden due to lack of space. I live in "midstate " NY(Hudson valley). I only plant what my family will eat, along with a few herbs and things. That being said, I have been stricken with both early and late blight for the last 4 years now. I know I should "rotate " crops to help, but EVERYTHING I plant is RRLATED to the tomatoe family.

my Grandfather planted a tomato garden in the same space EVERY YEAR, with no difficulty/diseases! (100+) for as long as I can remember (4) until he came to live with us, 94 and right across the street, lol! He saved seeds EVERY year from his BEST of the crop, and had them in the ground by the 15th of May every year!

He also planted squash and other things off site (whenever he could talk a neighbor into giving up a small patch with the promise of fresh veggies).

What can I do to get rid of this blite once and for all?
