From the book: Newspaper, Pennies, Cardboard & Eggs for Growing a Better Garden by Roger Yepsen

Lay two or three sheets of newspaper on the soil around tomato plants. Lightly moisten the paper, then top with 2 or 3 inches of grass clippings. This traps the disease spores in the soil and prevents them from splashing onto plant leaves during irrigation or rain.
