Default Early Blight

So it is enough if you do not grow tomatoes in the same place, but it is possible to grow them right next door. Need not to put tomatoes somewhere on the other side of the garden, but the place of cultivation must be changed every year and on original infested flowerbed can be returned in three to four years.

Thank you. Even thought I have a little acreage, I'd like to use an adjacent area because of convenience and amount of light.
