Do you remember the ratio of bleach:water to use in that solution? I’m having the same problem with mold/mildew/yellow-brown leaves.

I had to go back several threads but yea I found it. Hope it works for you.

“Take 1 gallon water, exactly. Put it in a new (unusued for anything else) pump sprayer. Add 5oz exactly of the new Clorox bleach concentrate. Mix thoroughly. After sundown and the bees (if you’re lucky enough to have them this year) are gone home for the evening, spray the heck out of the tomato plants. They will look like hammered heck while every infected leaf goes ahead and dies. I follow up with a feeding of some sort. Any uninfected new growth will be fine. But this kills the fungus/whatever to prevent any NEW infection.

Try this with one tomato plant first.

Another thing that prevents transfer of soilborne diseases is to mulch with papers/hay or just hay. Anything to keep the soil from splashing up on the leaves when it rains.
