Here in Brittany, where we seem to be developing a Spring rainy season, it is
becoming harder to grow potato's organically, mildew and blight are already
present on ours and have been for 2 weeks or more, despite Bordeaux mixture.

What about very high, wide raised beds, with much organic matter and mulch?
Parallel rows of raised beds that drain away from the gardens; i.e. no
standing water anywhere.
