Early blight, tomatoes, help!

I have vast numbers of tomatoes and spotted early blight on some this evening Sad

I've removed 7 plants completely and been over the rest removing any low down leaves to avoid splashing. Also mulched the plants with more compost to prevent any spores on the soil surface being splashed back onto the plants.

I really don't want to spray with fungicides if there are alternatives?

Any suggestions/tips? I have read about making a bicarb spray as a natural fungicide. Also apparently dissolved dilute aspirin and diluted milk I gather? If anyone has used any of these, did they work?

In need of advice!
