Daniel: The tomato that is doing well, remember to plant that one again next year!
Here is a link to a site with an article about using baking soda to treat fungal diseases! (Cheap solution!)
It lists the advantages and the disadvantages.

God bless and good growing!
"A common preparation: 1 gallon of warm water. 3 Tablespoons of Baking Soda Mixing it in the sprayer and then spraying on the plants can be an effective preventive method against any fungal diseases or insects. A wider range of protection: 1 Gallon Water 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda 1 Tablespoon Oil (Preferably Vegetable Oil) 2 Drops dishwashing liquid"
Thanks, I intend to try this, The plants are doing better since the weather pattern improved from rain coming 16 out of the first 18 days of this month, and diseased plants that I removed diseases leaves from seem to be coming back.
But as re the future, with this being the 6th year of planting tomatoes in the same spot, I think it may be time to give it a rest next year, and replenish the soil. Yet i do not want to spend much money on the garden. I have composted in the past using a upright barrel (and I had have plenty of greens to compost via the surplus food we have been able to distribute, thank God) but that is very hard to mix. So I want to build a contraption that would hold a 64 gal barrel and enable me to rotate it.
