Yesterday my tomatoes were growing beautifully. I've been harvesting more and more ripe ones each day and they've been lovely. Today I found the dreaded brown patches on curling leaves, spreading to the stems of one plant.
I've removed that plant from the greenhouse, saved the larger tomatoes from it and disposed of it in the garden waste bin. I've also removed most of the leaves from the other plants but without much hope. I fully expect to have to destroy all the plants.
The plants are in large pots and I would normally tip them into the compost heap at the end of the season. What do I do this year? Will the soil and roots be infected and, if so, how do I dispose of them?

I'm hoping it hasn't spread to those in my GH.
