    Plant virus are usually spread through the contamination of the sap. Usually spread by sap sucking insects but can also be spread by using unclean tools, say when cutting off dead leaves during the growing season.
    Its always best to use fresh compost and clean pots anyway.

    Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?
