early blight and septoria - but largely good results, you are fine.

But if you are getting serious root zone diseases, such as Fusarium or Bacterial Wilt, Nematodes or Verticillium, the soil has issues that will attack the plants. In that case you would need to solarize the soil - or grow in containers or straw bales on that location, on top of a root block fabric or plastic.
