potato blight

[COLIN WARWICKER]

can anybody tell me where I can get information on the spread of potato blight in my area(which is Lincolnshire) blightwatch .co.uk is one possibility but this seems to be available only to growers and not the allotment holders like myself.

Also what would be a suitable spray to apply now to prevent any outbreak.

Many thanks

You can sign up to Blightwatch, I have. Where it says company just put something like CW Cultivation or what ever.

Surprised I didn't get an alert yesterday, it was really warm & humid.

Bordeaux mixture is the best spray, if you can still get it, its being withdrawn from sale to the general public, although I did see a few tubs still on the shelf a few weeks back. I've stocked up on it.
