We all know that your tomatoes need calcium so why can’t you just put a calcium tablet in the holes when you plant them or dissolve some in water and pour it around your plant? Oh do any of you make your compost tea if so what is your fomular?

one of my favorite memories of my paw paw was potting tomato plants with him. He’d always keep a roll of Rolaids in the front pocket of his Liberty’s and every time I’d make a hole, he’d crush a Rolaids tablet and drop it down in the hole before placing the plant on top and covering the roots with dirt. I still do the same thing to this day, every mater plant I put in the ground gets a Rolaids or Tums tablet crushed in the hole. Seldom have a problem with Blossom End Rot.

I generally use epsom salt but the Roland idea has merit!!
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

I used to put crushed egg shell in mine, but there are far easier ways to do it.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Oyster shells also work good. But the Rolaids anti-acid tablets also make sense.

Dolomitic lime is all you need. It's a calcium and magnesium source. No Rolaids, no Epsom salt, and no more blossom end rot. Epsom salt is magensium, not calcium.

He used compost tea and could probably share his "recipe" with you.

I have heard of the gin trash and it works the only draw back on using that is all the pesticide cotton farmer use 😟but then I lived through lead paint, drinking water from a hose, ddt, and a whole lot of other things so go for it. If I had access to to some gin trash I would use it too.
