Blight detected.

[shocker]

I think we can safely say there's a bit of a difference between a couple of soluble aspirin dissolved in a gallon of water to induce a blight resistance and the chemical horrors of intensive farming methods.

yes Bram, thats why I am asking you the question...I feel that I may not of made myself clear. I do not know much about small scale, non nasty chemical controls of blight.

so in card playing lingo, I will see your and raise you

I see your Google skills are still weak grasshopper. The article linked to gave the dosage and concentration. Since Bordeaux Mixture was banned, there is no 'civilian' treatment to control blight and other fungal diseases. So I'll see your and call



On a serious note, it's a pain having no control for blight. I've lost whole crops of tomatoes to the disease, crops that were going to be preserved to see us through the winter and to watch it just rot on the vine is not only soul destroying but expensive. If Aspirin has the desired effect I think most of us growers will be cockahoop.

The Blight normally visits my garden from late July.We shall see.

Ah...so probably the thing to do is simply to keep spaying every week from now until harvest?
