I have a problem with EB every year, does anyone know of a way to slow it down that doesn't involve chemicals?

I am sure you already know all the cultural things you can do: crop rotation, garden sanitation before, during and after the season, air flow around plants, good mulching practices, no overhead watering, if you use cages, clean thoroughly and rinse with bleach solution. If all that is not the answer, then it is necessary to look at other methods. Even then, early blight is sometimes inevitable at the end of the season and maybe earlier if weather and temperature conditions don't co-operate. It can be a struggle.

Well when ever we rotate our Tomatoes they grow really good then just die ..they will be full of green tomatoes then they will all wilt and die.. So we have decided to keep them where they have been grown every year before we started rotating..Garden sanatation? never heard of it....
