I posted about putting a tums under each matter plant when we started the garden. Well they are coming in like crazy and the only ones that have any rot are the two plants we didn’t put a time under.

Nice! I sprayed mine with some calcium stuff for BER and so far so good.

I put a handful of Dolomite lime in the hole with my tomato plants when I plant them. I have never had more than one or two of the earliest tomatoes with blossom end rot. None this year. Dolomite is Ca and Mg. No need for Epsom salt either when using Dolomite.

I did this this year after seeing your recommendation in another thread. I too have had none with blossom end rot for the first time I can ever remember. I'm a believer
