Just a quick one, if the potatoe stalks are starting to die off naturally, do I still have to spray for blight?  |

I would probably go ahead and cut them them down and even dig them up, just my opinion though !

to the first question No.
If the Haulms are starting to die off naturally its probably time to dig and enjoy.
If they are starting to die off because of blight then thats a different problem, I would remove haulms and forget about spraying. |
