Treating Soil After Tomato Blight?

My tomato crop was decimated by blight. The vines and fruit are shrinking, drooping, and rotting. What do we do now that the crop is gone for this year? We have removed all the fruit and vines and destroyed them. Do we treat the soil now with something and dig it down or do we do something next season?

What can we plant there again next year? The nightshade group is tomatoes and eggplant. Can we put them back or must we rotate them? Thanks so much.

Lorraine, This year we had a wet Spring season and it was not good on tomato plants. Just hope next year's planting will do much better. It's not the soil that caused your blight.

Some people have better success raising tomato plants off the ground with the use of wire cones. A lot of people are trying the "pot gardening method" and you can move the pots about as necessary. Also, they can be set higher off the ground. Good luck.
