I've had blight problems
here too. Last year I got lazy and didn't cage my tomato plants and had
tomatoes up until frost - no blight (for once). This year I decided to
experiment so I'm not using anything previously used for growing
tomatoes..bought t-posts and baling sisal and am using the Florida weave system
to restrain the plants. If these plants survive up until frost I'll be
convinced that the blight is carried on stakes or cages used previously for
growing tomatoes. I always use black plastic and rotate my plants through
a series of raised beds.

*******************
The symptoms
are typical - the leaves wither and turn yellow-y brown,
starting at the bottom of the plant and working up. The fruits are unharmed, but no new blossoms are appearing. Our weather is staying in the low 90's, and they will set fruit in fairly warm weather, so "no blooms" worries me too. We are sustainable, and the tomato trellises are one fence away from the chicken yard. Any suggestions on a sustainable solution that would stop, or at least slow down the disease progression?
