Probably all had Blight so with them being left in the ground the person
that takes over will not be able to grow potatoes or tomatoes for a few

together with other plot holders and dig them all up now and dispose of any
rotten ones and the surrounding soil too, it's in everyone's interest.

That's not the case. Blight does not overwinter in the soil in
the UK. It overwinters in a wide variety of plants, including
wild ones, and is carried by the wind. So it makes little
difference.
