Planting marigolds between the tomatoes keeps whitefly away, infusion of nettle is good for greenfly and dried comfrey leaves around the base of the plant help with disease. It's always worth collecting ladybirds and moving them to your tomato plants too. If you can't do the marigolds or nettles, then soft soap in water does a pretty good job against greenfly and other pahids.
