We have a few tomatoe plants in the garden (various varieties) but they
don't fruit very well also the leaves keep dying I heard something on the
radio the other day about something in the soil and putting diluted
molasses on it but Ididn't catch it all can anybody help.

Thanks

Could be a Nematode problem, (little worm like creatures in the soil), to
prevent this I dig Bayer Nemacure into the plot prior to planting a tomato
crop.

Nematodes are more common in sandy soils I think.
