Is it me or the bad growing year we seam to be having..
I am getting about 30-40% of my tomato fruit suffering from blossom end rot.
I never had it this bad before, the pots never dry out, I am doing
everything the same as I did last year. Last year we had a great crop, so
much in fact the frozen processed toms lasted until Feb this year.
I am at a loss on where I am going wrong.. all the books say its due to the
pots drying out, but I have never let them dry out..
Any ideas
Without drying out, erratic watering of tomatoes can result in blossom
end rot. If it's any consolation, the rot is not a disease and steady
applications of sufficient water will clear the condition up in later
crops. I soak ours with a fine spray each morning.
