But I am getting better at watering more consistently.Charmcitybalconygardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920355372618728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140664535104162970.post-64040165105876315642012-07-05T17:40:12.928-07:002012-07-05T17:40:12.928-07:00Thank you!

I think it wasn't enough or the calcium in eggshells is not easily accessible for the plants. I took your advise and got some bone meal to sprinkle at the base of the plants. I also added some azomite and eggshells and a little bit of fertilizer (I was debating because I read that too much nitrogen makes it worse). I think they are doing better.Charmcitybalconygardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920355372618728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140664535104162970.post-3287573993536473292012-07-04T04:50:05.262-07:002012-07-04T04:50:05.262-07:00Tak til deling!Tak til deling!Altanerhttp://www.altangruppen.dk/gor-din-altan-til-en-gron-oase/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140664535104162970.post-44449001282108864402012-06-28T21:06:18.552-07:002012-06-28T21:06:18.552-07:00So frustrating!

I'm watering deeply almost every day just to try and stay on top of it.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107938398449608815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140664535104162970.post-73868228324839431372012-06-28T20:25:18.579-07:002012-06-28T20:25:18.579-07:00I used to get blossom end rot but haven't sinc...I used to get blossom end rot but haven't since I started adding things to the hole at planting time. I put in a handful of bone meal, a handful of slow release organic fertilizer, 1 and 1/2 crushed aspirin and 2 crushed egg shells.<br />I've tried the blossom end rot spray and it didn't work for me. But maybe you could try adding some bone meal to the soil around the plant? They say that tomatoes need 1 inch of water per week. I've been watering my tomatoes 1 time a week but they get a nice deep drink vs several shallow waterings a week.Suburban Gardenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555985514462862226noreply@blogger.com
