If you think you have blossom end rot add antacid tablets or eggshells to soil. Your tomatoes need calcium.
The first step is to make sure you have the right size pot with drainage holes.Use a good garden soil such as miracle grow for vegetables.Plant and water in a sunny location.
after the plants establish about two weeks give them a shot of fertilizer with a higher potassium level(use a water soluble)this will replace watering for the day.As they develop remove the suckers from the bottom and pinch off any flowers to close together.
I read that Tomatoes need to be planted really deep. For example a 10 inch plant should be planted 7inches deep. Yes you cover stems and everything. This produces very strong plants. I've tried it myself and it works. Good luck. TeresaC
remove most of the leaves and plant the young plant very deep with just a few off the top leaves exposed above the soil. use Epson salt as a fertilizer.
yes plant the tomatoes deep they develop more roots sandy loamy soil is great for growing tomatoes and they favor hot nights to ripen
