     Hello?
     here are a few suggestions:

     grow your tomato plants organically...
       avoid high nitrogen fertilizers
        use compost instead and natural fertilizers,
        control watering
        use proper mulching techniques
        plant correct varieties for your area
       use only natural controls such as:
             BT  better known as Dipel
             use bilogical controls such Bt (mentioned above)
             MVP ( a newer longer lasting version of BT)
             Benificial Predators
             Benificial nematodes
              Homemade sprays such as:
                    Natural soap (Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap)
                    Tobassco sauce  (without additives)
                    Garlic sprays
            Fine Horticultural oils work year round
           Learn to use the herbs that you grow
           learn to use companion planting
            (planting garlic around your tomato plants will
              keep caterpilars and most chewing insects away)

          For more info:
         read my new book " Natural Pest Control" available at most book
stores across the usa or from 1-800-354-9296
             or call my BBS (TOBBS- The Organic BBS) 310-457-4268 for
free immediate access to The Organic InfoBank(tm)

          Happy Grwoing Organically of course!
