Yes, these crops are not affected by potato blight.
b. what will I spray ground with now ?
No need to spray with anything. The potato or tomato plants themselves are sprayed.
c. how long should I leave after spraying before planting again ?
No need to wait.
d. could you recommend a book on tunnel gardening for complete beginners please.
If you go to the Know-how: How to grow: Greenhouse growing section on this site, you will find the basic information.
