How Fast does Food in the Soil Rot?

I do mulch my tomatoes asap after planting, but somehow it always happens to a greater or lesser degree. It was wicked humid and rainy last spring followed by a dry late summer and it was the worst ever. I should really spray more for it. If you don't start early - before you even see it - there's almost no stopping it. Slowing it down is about all you can accomplish.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry you have so much trouble keeping tomatoes going. I've never had a problem with blight and wasn't sure if mulching would keep it from happening or not. I've read that it does, sorry to hear it doesn't.
