Hello. This is called blossom end rot. It usually is from a lack of calcium. What I do is mix egg shells and tomato tone to the base of the plants. The tomato tone is full of calcium and can be found at local home improvement stores or garden centers. Good Luck!
If the blossom end of the tomato is dark brown and sort of flat it may be from a lack of calcium in the soil. Try adding some ground up egg shells. Also, Your soil may be fine, but if it is exceptionally hot the tomato may not be able to absorb the nutrients it needs.
It is called blossom rot. It comes from lack of calcium. You can buy bone meal and put some on the tomato plants, but it won't fix the ones already affected. We puree eggshells like powder to add two tablespoons to a gallon of water for our tomatoes and peppers.
Agree with others. Save all those egg shells- raw and cooked in the compost or dig into soil.
