Default bottom-rot tomatoes

(JesseMerry) wrote in message ...
We read an article that said bottom-rot is caused from not enough calcium in
the soil. We live in Colorado where summers are short and weather can change
any minute. Any ideas on how we can improve the calcium in our soil?


In CO it is a lot less likely to have Ca deficiencies, more likely to
have irregular watering, also causing BER. Wood ash is an excellent
source of Ca, but any compost will also be a very good source.
