Greetings to all,
This is probably such an elementary question that many of you will laugh =
at my ignorance but I would like some advice concerning tomatoes with =
rotten bottoms. I have heard that this syndrome is caused by uneven =
watering and I have also heard that it is caused by a deficiency of =
calcium in the soil. Perhaps some of you experienced gardeners wouldn't =
mind shedding some light on my problem. My tomatoes are in raised beds =
and the soil is a home-made mix of well composted yard debris, earth, =
well rotted chicken poop, agricultural lime and bone meal. The soil is =
covered with about two inches of one year old mint compost.=20
Please reply directly to my e-mail address as I don't check the news =
group with much regularity.
Thank you,
Gary

Go to google.com and search for Blossom End Rot==bear in mind that as the
season advances most BER conditions clear up by themselves so any "cure" is of
questionable value
