My question is; how can I prevent blossom end rot in my tomatoes? Is

there
any mineral supliment I can use?


Calcium will help, but it might not prevent the BER. Even if BER does set

in it
will likely correct itself when the rain finally stops.

See http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/horticulture/nf43.htm for an excellent

article.

Thanks, good link, I know the rain will stop eventually, but when. Len
