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??

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.
