Tomato Problems
 

Son is trying to grow tomatoes this year, he is growing them in a
plastic covered "Growhouse", some leaves appeared very dry and brittle
so Neighbour suggested we open the plastic more and water more this
seems to have taken off the worst of this "dryness". Now the leaves are
getting brown-yellow spots on them asked the neighbour again and his
only idea was Gray leaf spot is this a keep it till it gets better job
treat the plants in some way (if so what way) or throw the lot away?.
Could the earlier "dryness" just have been the start of this latest
problem? Had a quick look around Google but there was nothing that
shouted out to me.
I have included a link to a JPEG of what the leaves look like. There
doesn't seem to be any "creepy crawlies" wandering about so doubt some
sort of infestation. There appears to be no fungus on the leaves. I
have included all the (what I think is) relevant information but if you
need more info don't hesitate to ask on
cheesewebcurlycuehotmaildotcom .
The more I read the bumph about Gray leaf spot the more I am convinced
this/that (?) is the problem

Nothing much wrong there.

I would suggest a mix of water and epson salts half teaspoon full of salts
to a pint of water shake well and us a sprayer all over the plants blooms as
well

Works for me

I don't think that you need to use epsom salts as the foliage does not
appear to be suffering from magnesium deficiency in any way. Side
shoots have not been removed. The damaged leaves may have been burnt by
sunlight as a result of them having been sprayed with water, otherwise
the plants appear to be healthy. Remove the worse of the damaged leaves
and any new sideshoots, create maximum ventilation and everything should
be fine.
