Really like your videos and products. Is their any chance you could do a video on some organic ways to control or eliminate late tomato blight.. I'm not sure if it's a problem in Ca. But it's a big problem in some parts of the north east. Thanks

@maxny1 Yes, we'll put that on the list for video topics! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.

In my experience the best cure is diluted fat-free or skimmed-milk (one part milk diluted in 5 parts water). Milk is Anti Fungal, spray the diluted milk on the plant (do not forget underneath the leafs; where most of the fungi are hiding). You will see the result in a couple of hours in a sunny day; after the plant is dried off check for any bits you might have missed and spray them again.

Check the plants regularly (weekly basis) and spay them again if you see any signs of infection.
