Tomato blight on this side of the garden

Some spots on the leaves on this side of the garden but the fruits and stems are blight free

The difference is about 3-4 meters. There are some microclimate differences the blighted side would get marginally less sun and I didn't stake them properly so there would be less airflow. However I don't think that was the key issue.

So what happened here? I put down some of that photosynthetic bacteria last week ( it was kicking around in the car )and I genuinely forgot about it until today.

Late blight in tomatoes is caused by phytophora infestans and the photosynthetic bacteria culture that I have been growing made of Rhodopseudomonas Palustris and Rhodopseudomonas rubrum saved the side I watered with the bacteria restasking the pathogen. This is the same restasking process I had with replanting the Robinia that died of phytophora.

Why didn't I do both sides? Well as I said it was the last of the bottle kicking around in the car and it just so happens it was only enough to water one side with. I wasn't trying to turn it into a comparison it just happened by accident.

This wasn't even with unclorinated water so I am very encouraged with the results and will have to experiment more with this as time goes on.
