I'm sorry to hear that. i had over 100 tomato plants succumb to blight
one year. I was able to keep some going and don't know if it was my
efforts or that a few plants were stronger. I used a strong garlic
based infusion to feed the tomatoes with, along with other herbs like
yarrow and comfrey.

i don't know if it's the same blight, but certain ones will stay in
the soil for several years.
