Default Dig them up and burn them?

In article ,
lid says...

Advice on how to deal with tomato blight seems to be to dig up and burn
infected plants.

Has anyone tried to set fire to a tomato?

Presumably if you dry the infected plants and fruit before burning them this
gives plenty of opportunity for the infection to be spread.
And also takes a very long time in this weather.

Not having an incinerator or a flame thrower I am not sure how to proceed.

Bundle them up in a black bin bag and take them to your local council
waste recycling centre. Most seem to have garden waste recycling bins
nowadays.
