To try to minimize the blight, trim you tomatoes so none of the leaves are in contact with the ground. This might eliminate fungal growth. We do it in NC with success.
Back when we had raised bed gardens (6-16' x 4') I would move from one box to another to keep the blite away. We planted raised bed gardens for over twenty years and never had a problem. I kept moving plants around from one box to another except for the Potato patch. I had a 50-50 mixture of creek sand and topsoil and we raised sweet potatoes and Russets.
Also can't you spray the plants maybe weekly I think neem oil I have heard of baking soda dish soap mix I think it works by making the pH to high for blight to live. It worked for my brown spot on my seedlings. Look up some mix ratios maybe try on 1 plant and see if it's worth doing
To create a solution that prevents and treats disease, add a heaping tablespoon of baking soda, a teaspoon of vegetable oil, and a small amount of mild soap to a gallon of water and spray the tomato plants with this solution. This needs to be reapplied regularly to maintain its efficiency.
Blights are a terrible fact of botany and horticulture. I am from Bermuda and a blight in the mid 1940s from imported garden plants destroyed 98% of the endemic cedar trees in five years. I now live in Costa Rica, and a blight wiped out the Pacific coast's banana plantations. That land is now used for oil palm plantations. It's great farming to see you using poultry waste as fertilizer for the raised garden beds.

My apologies for the questionable audio on this video. My good microphone went out and I havenโt had it fixed yet. Thanks for soldiering through!
Now since, notifications did not work, to find the vid where you hurt yourself.
You always put a smile on my face. Thank you.

A 4 year old camera man is a GREAT idea! We'll be seeing shots that aren't in any films class book

Try to find a propane weed burner they come in handy for all sorts of projects.
I raised two Yorkshire pigs last year and at 11 months, one was 605# and the other was 585#.
Nothing to do with this video. You asked on one of your videos if anyone is interested in seeing your hunting sdventures . I would be interested.
Find it interesting that you are attending Seminary. What is your background, it must have to do with forestry
God bless you guys in Jesus precious name ๐ โค๏ธ….
"Y'all are getting a treat today!" ๐๐

I love that jeep

How do you prevent tomato blight naturally?

God bless you lil buddy @ 9:38
I think you wasted a lot of bleach and propane as well as time on your tomato cages . Maybe I have been doing it all wrong for the past 60 years.
I love the pigs. Keep up the good work.
