Tomato blight
Hi people!! Have heard a tip to stop blight on tomatoes in a greenhouse. Plant a Marigold at the base of each tomato plant and you will be blight free. Is this true or an old wives tale??

Re: Tomato blight
Hi Phil
Just wrong
French marigolds and tagetes will (it is said) deter whitefly and aphids. Blight is a fungal disease and will be unaffected.
