Tomato blight remedy

3 cups compost

1/2 cup powdered nonfat milk

1/2 cup epsom salts

1 tablespoon baking soda

  • Sprinkle powdered milk on soil every few weeks during the growing season.

  • In July, sprinkle powdered milk directly on leaves of the plant.

Nothing prevents blight, but this remedy slows it down greatly.
