Identifying a Tomato Problem -- need assistance

I have two tomato plants that are displaying this problem, according to the research I have done, it is "salt damage". I have not found a solution to this problem, and maybe there isn't one.

As you might notice, this photo was taken last year, I had this exact same probem last year, in the same bed (I have all raised beds).

{{gwi:1355481}}

Symptoms:

Excess salt accumulates in the tomato plant in the older leaves. Leaves turn yellow, and will eventually fall off. The plant is stunted and not vigorous, but other symptoms may be lacking. Tomatoes are relatively salt tolerant.

Control:

Salt damage is rarely encountered in field situations except under very poor water quality situations. Salt damage may become a problem in pot culture or in hydroponics. Select salt tolerant varieties.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you in advance for you help.

Mary
