Hi Everybody,

Springtime here, and my tomatoes are in.

What is the most appropriate stuff for giving them
calcium (to prevent blossum-end-rot), while respecting
their PH acidity needs?

I am guessing blood-n-bone-meal? Sprinkled liberally?

They are in 20-litre (5-gal) buckets, with generic
potting mix plus household compost.

Thanks...

What are you doing with your eggshells?
Even moisture and watering will have a greater benefit, I doubt your
soil is deficient. Calcium chloride works, 2 or 3 gm in a gallon of
water.

Tesco's also works. And in the all in all ends up being cheaper.

Trying to imagine draining water swirling counter-clockwise and spring in
october,
