Guy that sold tomatoes nearby said that you'd have to replace soil in
the garden by maybe 5 ft deep to get rid of the blight.


which isn't ever going to happen... especially
considering it would likely come back for various
reasons.

even if we have a lot of clay it has taken me
a long time to get the garden soil in some of the
patches to be fairly decent. i'm surely not going
to be removing it. also considering i don't have
any easy way to move it around other than a
wheel barrow or bucket at a time.

i can live with it as it is.

Not a lot of choice. Even growing tomatoes in pots on the deck getting
it, I replaced all the soil with new and still got it. I just put up
with the lower yields.
