Default Tomato question

I've had an impossible time finding Daconil. The local Agway, who has never
steered me wrong before, claims it has been discontinued and replaced with a
product called Funginil. Anyone know anything about this?

I'm pretty sure it's fungal damage- probably early blight. Good air
circulation and fungicides are the way to go. Daconil is good, neem oil
will work, as will sulfur. Copper's not bad, but it's better for
prevention (or if you catch it early).

I'm not sure about not wetting the soil just below the plant (that's how I
water!), but I do know that moisture on the leaves helps the fungus
thrrive.

Good luck!

Here is a link to pictures of my tomato's. I was wondering if the brown
leafs are normal or if I am doing something wrong. Maybe they are the
determinate and starting to die?
