  • Try using Sea-Crop at 16 oz/acre or 1:25 drench every 5 days for 30 days, then weekly throughout growing season. This will also boost mineral content giving the fruit better keeping quality, taste and other fungal resistance besides boosting production. See agriculturesolutions.ca for veggie program-also qualifies for organic production.Enhancing the soil biology will prevent bacterial, fungal and insect infestations. I used this on organic greenhouse tomatoes and stopped blight and got a crop

  • is the hot girl at 2:42?

  • Are there any blight resistant heirlooms that one can grow from seed ?

  • wow she is hot

  • lateblight is an air born fungus witch can travel through the air up to 30 miles from an infected plant. for organick gardeners and farmers the best way to get rid of lateblight is to bern the plant killing the spores, not sending it to the landfill because the spores will get blow from the plants and find a host again. i feel bad for the organick farmer but they do make commercial fungisides to prevent a lateblight outbreak

  • Grrrrrrrr,,,,,,yet another reason to hate Walmart.

  • I grow from seeds and did not have this problem

  • Wal mart is a greedy corporation if there ever was one. They prey on people with low incomes.

    Anyways here in London,UK they own Asda, a once proud, quality driven retailer which was bought by Wal mart in 2000. Anyway, sorry to here about your tomato's!

  • Walmart has a long track record of proverbially, pissing where 'we the people', eat. The only thing the Waltons care about is were their next billion is coming from.

    When you buy at stores like walmart, you contribute to a faltering economy and skyrocketing unemployment rate. As pointed out, nothing good can come out of stores like walmart.

  • Walmart, Lowes, and Home Depot purchased plants from Bonnie Plants. There are eye witness reports of blight-infested tomato plants in the greenhouses at Bonnie Plants. There are also reports of Bonnie selling blighted plants locally, back in April.

    When it comes to greed, nothing surprises me. Sadly, late blight can overwinter. And no doubt, many home gardeners have no clue how to eradicate and dispose of blighted plants properly. Late blight could be a problem next year because of this.

  • I agree these stores and bonnie should be held accountable but there may have been other sources.

    In my area there is a fruit stand/store that was selling a plethora of plants(including nightshades). Their plants were started in local greenhouses. I purchased 18 romas. My brother purchased several plants as well. I remember looking at his and wondering why he got the sickly looking ones. His have died first. He also had late blight on his plants last year.

  • My tomato beds were cleaner than his and blight is just starting to attack. There's not a whole lot you can do once it really hits. The spores travel on the wind. I'm probably going to torch my soil after the plants are removed and burned to a crisp.

    So the store we purchased plants from could have had the blight as well. I just contacted them and the response was they never heard of it. How irresponsible is that?

  • Spores can spread up to 2 miles on the wind...

  • One report suggested 40 miles a day. It really doesn't matter in an urban setting. The store I got them from is 2 miles a way. Walmart, Lowes are about 3 miles, Home Depot 2 miles. Wind direction can matter but if someone to the west of me (and I am on the eastern border of my city) buys a plant from any of those stores, I am in for possible trouble. We've had a good 13+ inches of rain in the past 60 days too.

    It sucks, it really does. It smells like some kind of piss in my potato beds.
