I just joined to see if I could be of help to anyone. I am retired and have had experience with a variety of crops - potatoes, apples, pears, peaches, watermelons, and even cranberries (a little). I have worked with both fungal and bacterial diseases. So, I am at your disposal as needed. I don't have a blog on this topic, but I do have a profile page on HubPages, which I put in the trackback, where I have written on a variety of topics.

Have you any advice on what steps allotmenters could take to prevent spread of diseases to and between plots on a site?
Thanks -
Hello there RandM
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.Comment
