Late Blight does not overwinter in freezing soil but it travels on the wind during the growing season so moving a garden will not help if the spores are present in the air.

Both blights thrive in humid conditions.

What blight are you having trouble with?
You have asked almost all the questions that I would have posted about including which Specific blight, since some are due to bacteria,some are due to Fungi/molds, and Early Blight can appear anytime during the season.

So one has to plan an attack,and as for me that would be spraying with Daconil. And in some situations using a copper based spray such as Maneb.
