I've been struggling with blight affecting my tomato plants for the last few seasons. Initially, I wasn't aware of the issue, but after investigating, I'm pretty sure that's what's happening. My tomatoes are planted in the ground, and although I change the soil every year, I reuse the same planting holes. The plants develop black dots on the stalks, which spread and cause all the leaves to fall off. The fruit seems mostly okay, but a few have those black spots too. I'm really looking for advice on how to stop this from happening and what I might be doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm in the same boat! Last year, all my 40 tomato plants got hit by early blight, and it ruined my entire crop, which was really tough. I’m eager to find out some tips to prevent it this year. Good luck to you too!
It's crucial to avoid replanting in the same spot unless you thoroughly clean the area and treat it with a 10% bleach solution. Some people may say otherwise, but I've found that it's essential for getting rid of those blight spores!
Thanks! I hope we both find some good solutions this season!
