hey raspberry, im sure others will chime in. i too am organic.blight was probably the worst it has ever been here last year. it was hot, humid, drought and then a gully washer. prime time for plant stress and diseases. i used neem spray last year. it actually works as a double team on maters. slows the aphids down and seemed to slow the blight down as well. it didnt get rid of it altogether but did seem to have an effect on slowing it down. this year im thinking about serenade.

I have 3 tomato plant one beside each other in raised beds and the first one got early blight (many lower leaves infected and some tomatoes have light brown spot on them) but the others seem fine so far so I was wondering if it was logical to pull it out to prevent other tomatoes of catching it too? I have another 10 plants too but in different raised bed next to them. What i read to do to is to remove the lower leaves of my plants, to remove infected leaves and to spray an anti fungal spray (I heard water and baking soda works) does that seem right? If i don't pull out the whole plant should i remove affected tomato fruits as well?

Appreciate the feedback so far...I belive I'm in zone 6A. If you look at a map of Indiana and think of it as a boot, I would be really near the toe. I'm almost positive it's early blight, per the 'Tomato Problem Solver' link posted around and seaking with others. I think I'll try mulching next year. Actually, I'd planned to use a large plastic tarp with approx 1' diameter holes for the plants...and mulch around the bases. Don't laugh, I just don't have alot of time to till/keep weeds down. So...maybe Daconil doesn't cause a strange taste...but I can notice a slight twang from the skin that tastes strangely like the smell of daconil. Maybe I'm mixing it too strong...or maybe it's just me. It just seems like I can have my same varieties in a 'new' garden place and completely avoid e. blight, but when I plant in my 'normal' place, it runs rampant (spelling?). Therefore I assumed (possibly incorrectly) this frustrating stuff lays dormat in the soil. gardenboy

I think the only way you can prevent LB is by ensuring the plant don't get wet. Hego
