This is the 2d year my tomatos have dark spots (big) on the underside.
Someone told me I water too much. Someone else told me I water too little!
I am not convinced it is the watering. Maybe something in the water? We
have a well.
Would appreciate anyone who knows weighing in.

BER (Blossom End Rot). Caused by a lack of calcium in the fruit. This can
occur in the presence of too much water even though there is plenty of calcium
in the soil and leaves.
