Potaotoe blight happens ususally when its cold and damp. You could try growing blight resistant varieties. Water when the soil is dry. Potaoes need a lot of water to help the tubers to swell

Thank you so much. I didn't realise they needed so much watering.

In containers you will need to water a lot... possibly as much as every day when it is hot.
