Preparing our buckets to prevent late blight next year

Elliot · November 25, 2009

This year we were hit with the tomato blight that hit many gardens on the East Coast. Virtually the only tomatoes we got were cherry or grape tomatoes.

Right now I took out all of my plants and disposed of them. Since we have twenty large home depot vats filled with miracle grow (expensive) soils, I would rather not have to empty every bucket. Is there something I can apply to the soil now which might kill any fungi over the winter?
