So, Blight ~ you need to figure out where it’s coming from, ground or
trees. If it starts low, maybe adding ground cloth over the area and using
a quality woodchip on top of it? If it’s high and coming down from tree
debri well, can you move your setup?
If you find that you’re still getting debri, I have a filter, just a little
larger but, you can backflush it. If it stays really bad like in your
video, one of those fiber mesh disposable filter’s may be the answer.
I don’t know about you but I’m glad tomato season is about over, can’t eat
anymore of them. I only have 6 Black Krim plants left and 2 Big Beef, I
may pull them today. Interesting scale, I won’t ask what it was designed
for…

I really enjoyed your video I end up with blight all the time on my tomato
plants. I have never found anything that would really get rid of it. Thanks
for the great tour.

Wow, I am so happy your tomatoes were a success!! I was worried, since the
seeds came from me. haha. It was nice to hear how pleased you are with them
all. They all look great ! I cannot believe you got an almost 2 lb
tomato!!! That is great! I have lots more this year. Nice varieties, and I
have already started saving tons of seeds from them. I have canned about 20
quarts of tomato sauce so far…=)

It has been the year of the tomato, hasn’t it Marc? Yeah, blight can spread
very quickly, especially in the outside environment. Those dadgum yellow
jackets are a pain in the rump! I’m surprised they didn’t cover you up! I
wait until dusk when they are all at home, then pour gasoline in the
hole…no more yellow jackets! I have to agree with other folks suggestions
on running straight 1/4″ tubing to your dutch buckets. This is the way I
have always done it with very good, and predictable results. Just my 2
cents ; )
