"Tiny black bugs" could also be flea beetles. If your leaves have tiny holes in them, it's flea beetles. They're especially attracted to eggplant leaves, but I've also had them on lower tomato leaves. Usually I remove the lowest leaves, and that takes care of it for me. When I grow eggplant, I keep it covered with row cover. I've talked to someone who *catches* them!
