leaf spot on tomato leaves
I have what I believe is leaf spot on all the leaves on my 8 inch seedlings. Does anyone know an organic method to kill the leaf spot? Or should I just pull them up and replace the seedlings?

I wouldn't replace the seedlings.
Here are a few tips to avoid leaf spot:
It is a fungus that lives in the soil so:
1) trim the bottom leaves from your tomatoe plants (especially when they are large)
2) Use a non invasive top water method so as to not allow splashing from the soil.
3) Spray weekly with an aerated compost tea.
The compost tea may help with the problem that you currently have but, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
