WATCH OUT FOR POTATO BLIGHT

Potato blight is a very infectious disease. the spores are carried in tiny droplets of water, suspended above the ground in clouds and mists. During humid, damp conditions blight spores can be transferred to potato foliage and on to outdoor tomato plants.

Be on the lookout for infected plants. to reduce the chances of blight, never leave the potato tops or any debris from harvested potatoes lying on the ground. Instead, bury them in your compost heap or get rid of them.
