    Potato Blight

    Hi all

    So last year I had blight in my christmas potatoes, basically killed everything, I use potato bags as I dont have much room. So anyway I have used Jayes Fluid on the bags + stuck them in the washing machine a few weeks ago, any chance you think the blight could stick inside the bag through all that or should I be okay?

    Thanks

    Blight only survives on living plant material, so I think you're safe until the next airborne attack arrives

        It did nothing in terms of blight, but at least you have clean bags ��

          There seems to be more to it than just hygiene. 2 years ago I had serously bad blight, Some of the greenery got composted, some of the soil from the containers was used again etc. So in terms of what the books say i did a very bad job. But this last season i had no blight!
