Eric4home said:I have to come up with a plan for my heirloom tomatoes. I move them to another corner of the garden each year but have been plagued with blight. I may just give up for a few years and only grow VFNs in one area and let the remainder rest for 3-4 years. I'd love to be able to afford having my garden soil steam treated and start from scratch. I may resort to growing a few in containers. My heirloom beets seem to do well enough.

Have you ever tried deep digging your tomato bed? Basically it is just turning over the soil but to a depth of 12-18 inches. It buries all the pathogens. Or at least that is the plan.
