How can I keep tomatoes from getting blossom rot?
+5
HELP! I can grow anything but tomatoes. They are either so small or they get that blossom rot. There is nothing like a good m&m sandwich in the summer but I have to buy my 'maters!

My mom and I used tums one summer as a source of calcium and this year some bone meal. Both work pretty well.
Try epsom salt. Sprinkle around the bottom of plant. Do this every several weeks. Helped me last year. Good luck!
Try a little like very little
Blossom rot is causes by lack of calcium. I save egg shales, put in blender with wat then pour at base of each tomato, water & shell. Sometime i add calcium tablets to the eggss n blender.
Too much water.
I use 2 Tbs Epsom Salts & 2 Tbs Powdered Milk with water in each hole. At least it worked last year. I even used Epsom Salts on my peppers also last year & they got HUMANGUS. When you dig your holes put 2 Tbs Epsom Salts in the hole & add water before you put in the plant.
