Wondered if mulching so that just the tops show might prevent blight. 6th July 2014 at 8:21 am #25462 charlesModerator If you have space free, its worth a try. However blight enters through leaves and stems, then downard through sap, so mulching cannot prevent it. 6th July 2014 at 10:43 am #25463 grannyjannyParticipant Thank you Charles. I don’t think it’s worth it. Author Posts Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
