hi. what kind of pest do you have.l have tried to give you this but you can get more details from the website below. just look for tomato gardening problems
Beet leafhoppers are responsible for spreading the curly top virus among the tomato leaves. Once the plant is affected by the virus, the leaves will start turning yellow and roll up wards and eventually fall down. You will find some kind of stiffness in the stems and the leaves of the plant and tomatoes get ripe prematurely.

biodynamic is pretty intensive, like permaculture, but SO worth it! it's as much about healing the earth as getting good veg! (i've never seen the word used with a registered trademark symbol BTW) i only do a little biodynamic stuff so far - i haven't gotten the preparations part down yet, but do moon planting and compost tea, and we now have a beehive so i'm starting to plant for them as well. compost tea seems to have overwhelmed most of my garden pests - yippee! although something just ate through my previously untouched rhubarb leaves...hmmm....

I just wrote a review of an eBook about Biodynamic compost making. You can find it here if you're interested in that kind of stuff:

Biodynamic is not just about growing rules, it involves some spiritual approach. And it works in surprising way. I have posted an article recently about sowing seeds by biodynamic.

Have you tried planting garlic around your tomatoes. Most insects are repelled by the odor and it seems to keep them away. It worked for me when I was having and insect problem with some young hibiscus plants. Another benefit is that you end up with lots of garlic.
