I have grown potatoes in containers this year and, unfortunately, they have blight. I have cut off the haulms and am eating the spuds as fast as I can!What should I do with the spent compost in these containers? Can it go on my garden compost heap or to the municipal composting site?

Potato blight fungus only overwinters in diseased tubers and not in compost, so you can use it as you wish.
