sorry about my typing errors.
Commercial products such as Tomato Rot Stop can serve as a preventative. I have found that affected tomatoes can be utilized in canning and cooked products by cutting off the affected ends. The blossom end rot has to go but most of the fruit is unaffected.
Try putting a handful of calcium and epsom salts in the hole before you plant them. Dusting the plants with copper dust when they are bearing fruit. You can get it at a place like Lowes.
You tomatoes are lacking calcium.Apply a calcium supplement to the soil.
Very easy first step one spoon epsom salt mix with 2 cups water and sprinkle on the plant. it will most probably solve problem. When I plant tomatoes I mix one tea spoon epsom salt in soil it never goes anything wrong. And also I repeat this in every 2-3 weeks, always perfect tomatoes. ( don't get confused with table salt and epsom salt, two totally different things )
Try sprinkling epson salts around your plants and watering them after.
