Can Growing Tomatoes From Seed At Home Help Prevent Late Blight?
I think it can help indeed. Last season Penn State university was warning about another bad year for late blight in our area. I started all my plants indoors from seed. Gave plants to many of my neighbors and not one of these plants were hit with late blight or any other disease! I think when you buy your plants from a nursery or chain store, you take the chance that your plants may be diseased when you take them home. These growers raise their plants on a much larger scale and in my opinion, it increases the risk of disease spreading throughout their plants. What do you think? Rich |

I've experienced exactly that from the commercial growers seedlings. Last year was not a good one to get healthy plants. |

Rich I have always started them from seed and have yet to produce a good tomato crop. Does anyone know if acidic water would cause blight or wilt? I water with lake water that is acidic, not exactly what the ph is. MJ |
