^ Understood, that's why I qualified the suggestion. The OP is in zone 8, said the problem was early blight and as someone else noted, blight thrives in humid conditions. I would think those most susceptible to early blight have the silver lining of a longer growing season, but again I qualified the comment in case the OP is an exception.
One question I have is what is an expected / acceptable loss rate? The OP was already doing the recommended techniques but he's been growing heirlooms in an area that he says has been very wet for the past three years. Is losing 1/3 of a crop of heirloom tomatoes under the stated conditions out of whack?
