Copper spray is my secret weapon for any type of blight. Doesn’t necessarily CURE it, but it does slow it down to give your tomatoes a fighting chance to reach maturity. :)

Here’s a recipe for controlling tomato blight that I found online. It’s a lot cheaper than copper sulfate.

https://storage.googleapis.com/wzukusers/user-33567729/documents/5b20727d62dceXb9blG9/tomato%20blight.pdf

3 Tbsp baking soda
1 gallon water
1 Tbsp cooking oil
3 Drops dishwashing detergent

Mix thoroughly and spray on plant morning or evening once a week.

If 3 Tbsp baking soda isn’t quite cutting it, up it to 3 1/2.
