Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy tomatoes were thriving until July and they developed dried looking leaves starting from the bottom and working their way up to the top of the plants now. How would I get rid of this next year and can I plant tomato plants in the same soil next year? Many years ago I believe they called this blight? Here’s my photo please advise. Thank you very much

I wouldn't reuse the soil. In fact, I would use a different container, altogether, and use fresh soil in it.
To avoid this in the future- Make sure that your container has drainage holes that allow all extra water to leave it, freely. Make sure to allow the soil to dry out down to about 2 or 3 inches between waterings.

It could be any number of wilting diseases and it will be best to not plant tomatoes in the same place for at least a year, maybe two. Next year, buy disease resistant plants. Here is more about wilting diseases:
