[USCC] Late Blight and Compost

[Heide Hermary]

Last year I arrested the blight (early stages) with a spray of EM  
(effective microorganisms), sea minerals, fish hydrolysate  and   
molasses
One spray, and my plants regained health and remained healthy until  
the deer ate them a month or so later.
Cheers, Heide
