:!: I caught part of the WAVE3 Listens program Monday, Jan. 12 which featured Cindi Sullivan fielding Garden questions with Kevin Harned. I checked once more to see if the Chat had been revived, to no avail, and at that point, time had run out on the broadcast.

I wanted to address several options for possible solution of blight or fungal attack on tomatoes.

First, and perhaps, simplest, would be the selection of maximum fugus and blight resistance in hybrid varieties, at least for the next couple of seasons.

Second, since the temperature of composting is primarily effective in ensuring the safety/cleanness of composted material, doesn't soil solarization produce temperatures adequate for counter-acting soil problems?

Both of these are excellent suggestions.
