Hi, in the past I have grown tomatoes and probably grown them too often in
the same place. The last couple of attempts have seen them grow well and
then suddenly start turning up their toes, dying from the bottom up. The
leaves go all yellow and start to wilt. I'm presuming it is tomato wilt and
is something in the soil. Any clues as to how to fix it so I can start
growing tomatoes again?

You have two options. The first is to drench the soil with fungicide in the
(I suspect vain) hope of blitzing the fungus.

The second is not to plant any solanaceae there for a number of years, to
allow the fungus numbers to decline naturally. Solanaceae include tomatoes,
spuds, eggplants, capsicums and chillies. If you must grow tomato relatives
this year, plant them a long way from this area, and remember to practice crop
rotation assiduously in future.
