Default warning blight arrives!

Anyone else suffering?


Everyone on my allotments (Worcester) have blight to some degree. My Mimis
had it bad, but the spuds themselves were still ok. My Jerseys have a little
bit of damage but the girl next to me has had all her Pink Fir Apple knocked
flat with it.

Too warm and wet is the general concensus.

A little off topic, but if these tops are placed in the council's green
bins, then sold off later when composted will that not cause problems?
Personally I would not buy compost from councils for this reason, also
imagine all the chemicals that will be present.
