Default Feeding Calcium to plants??

Partially true. My experience is that BER problems are more
pronounced early in the season and sometimes totally clear
up towards the middle of the season without doing anything
to treat the effected plants. HOWEVER, if the soil is treated
with any of the various "cures" that resulted in solving the BER
problem in the current season AND subsequent plantings
result in no BER then it safe to assume that the cure worked.

It would be interesting to see how plants responed to this
calcium tablet treatment if only half of the BER effected plants
were given this treatment. Anyone try that?
