I noticed brown speckles on my potato leaves so I harvested the containers. A couple of the potatoes were affected by blight but the rest don't seem to be. They do have little white speckles on though. Can anyone advise on what to do with the foliage and compost? Also, the crop yield was small again with only 4kg from nine…

I noticed brown speckles on my potato leaves so I harvested the containers. A couple of the potatoes were affected by blight but the rest don't seem to be. They do have little white speckles on though.

Can anyone advise on what to do with the foliage and compost?

Also, the crop yield was small again with only 4kg from nine seed potatoes. They were sown 97 days ago and had flowered. They were watered well weekly and fed with worm castings liquid weekly after the first month.

Any advice would be appreciated.
