   The first year, I think it was early blight. It effected the tomato at the   
   stem and made the tomato fall off before turning red. Last year it attacked   
   the leaves. They would turn brown and I tried cutting them off to save the   
   plant but the plants died before giving me tomatos.   
      
   I do put eggshells in the compost. Epsom salts? I'll have to get some and   
   experiment.
