Default Potato blight

Hi everyone I really need some advice about my potatoes. The second earlies look like they have got blight and it is just starting on the main crops too. I don't mind cutting down the foliage of the 2nd earlies but really wanted some big mains to see us through the winter. Does any one have any suggestions? We are totally organic growers (with 5 children) so please don't suggest any dodgy sprays! Many thanks

Hello Zoe and welcome to the Vine.

It might be worth doing a search on "blight" as this has been a bit of a topic of discussion the last two weeks. You may get some answers there. Good luck.
