Hello. I use Tomato Tone. It is very high in calcium, and saved mine one year. You can also put crushed up egg shells at the base of the plant. Good Luck!
blossom end rot --- mostly due to uneven water -- too much/not enough/too much/not enough ...
Egg shells work but not quickly ... great for a compost pile, but direct application is seldom successful as quickly as you need ... but it may not be lack of calcium --- your local Agricultural Agency can do a soil test for you --- more harm is done by inappropriate amendments to soil than by doing nothing at all
A handful of Epsom Salts........
Bone meal
Crushed egg shells
Crushed seashells are great too.
