Welcome Snip.
If you grow your tomatoes on an allotment it seems the risk is higher than if you grow in your garden. When our allotment site had only about a third of the plots taken we had little problem with blight but now it is a really big issue. The three damp and windy summers haven't helped!

It seems to me that when lots of tomatoes or potatoes are growing fairly closely then it creates a sort of blight corridor. Not sure whether that is scientific just an observation.

Many thnaks for all the positive comments. I didn't really consciously believe I was growing organically but rather by accident all of my veg has turned out perfectly and I have had no problems so maybe in the bigger picture I shouldn't be knocked by a bit of blight! I have a few months to reconsider.
