I used to fight blossom end rot every year. I think it was Furflyin who recommended dolomitic lime at planting 2 years ago and I gave it a shot. I havent had blossom end rot on a single tomato since I would rather fix it at planting than stop gap it with foliar spray. How much dolomitic lime do you use per plant?

I havent had blossom end rot on a single tomato since Yep, it twas me. I'm glad somebody listens to my suggestions. LOL Blossom end rot is absolutely preventable, every single time. You don't need Epsom Salt, Tums, Rolaids, Foliar Spray, Indian Totem Poles, Chi, Chakra, Judy Chops or any other "home" remedy. All you need is some dolomitic lime in the hole with the tomato plant at planting time. It really is very simple.

I havent had blossom end rot on a single tomato since I would rather fix it at planting than stop gap it with foliar spray. How much dolomitic lime do you use per plant? I put 2-3 big handfuls in each hole and mix it with the dirt. If you want a unit of measure, I'd say use one red solo cup per plant. jwalker mentioned pelletized lime. I'm pretty sure that pelleted lime is dolomitic lime, but I'm not 100% certain on that. I have seen "Garden Lime" on bags on bags of dolomitic lime.

It is dolomitic lime. It is finely ground then pelletized. It is supposed to start working as soon as it is incorporated in the soil. I added some last year then did a soil sample two weeks later. It raised my ph over a point. Good to know.

Calcium nitrate will stop it!!!! Can you put it out after the plant has grown or when you plant? We are fighting pretty bad ourselves.

Tired of thowing tomatoes over the fence. I mixed up dolomite lime pellets and poured on plants a week ago and got some of the Stop calcium nitrate.

I agree with the others on calcium nitrate. 2 tablespoons per plant
