Could be about 10 different things from fungi to bacteria, pests, improper watering (water at the ground not the top), lack of nutrients, lack of sunlight and even the weather and temperatures with cooler temperatures.
You can make a natural spray from baking soda and a little dish soap mixed with water. This helps with many fungi and blight. Cooper is another natural spray you can buy. For pest you can use neem oil or diatomaceous earth. There are lots of natural fertilizers on the market. Calcium, of course you can use egg shells or make calcium water by soaking egg shells in water for a few days. Phosphorus is another important nutrient for tomatoes. The Epson salts mentioned help add magnesium back to the soil as a micronutrient. It can also aid in photosynthesis.
