Yet again my tomatoes(all outdoor) have been ruined.Dithane would prevent this but is no longer available to amateur gardeners,though I'm assuming that it's still being used by commercial growers.Copper fungicide is useless.
Any tips?

Grow them under cover next year, a polytunnel would be ideal. There is no cure for blight only prevention and who wants to spray homegrown food? Defeats the objective, no?
Bloke on the next plot to me has one of these.

He grows tomatoes and aubergines in large pots and boxes in it very successfully.
He's had it for 4 or 5 years now and it still looks OK but he dismantles it every winter which is easy to do. When growing under cover like this you obviously need to water a lot more than outdoors.
