Yellow lower leaves Southern Calif
See photo link
Tomatoes in new raised bed with all new soil (sterile compost) from Home Depot.
Plants show yellowing of lower leaves. After a week leaves and affected stems wither and fall. Some upper leaves are curled. I remove yellowed branches as they develop so plants in these photos have lost 20 percent of lower foliage.
Although soil was sterile the stakes were five years old and had been used for tomatoes before.
A cherry tomato plant (moto) was entirely destroyed andhas been removed. It roots had a fungus like appearance, or seemed rotted and otherwise unhealthy.
Andy diagnosis appreciated.
