To be fair, Doug is an allotment legend and certainly doesn't use many chemicals at all. He wasn't really suggesting I do it, he just mentioned it as a 'some people do this'. It probably does work, but then you've got jeyes fluid in your soil and a damaged microbiome.
Will have a look at the san marzano. I also like to keep a few tomato plants at home and they ususally avoid blight much more than ones at the allotment.
Was ordering some other bits last night and ended up getting these for next season. One for salads and one for passata. Both supposedly pretty resilient and prolific.
