There is nothing much you can do about blight except hope for a dry
season or use copper frequently.

Last year was excellent didn't have to use anything, year before lost
everything.

Perhaps a tent of some sort to keep the plants dry during the wet
years will work, haven't tried it.


I have. It works pretty well.
