Could be blossom end rot which is calcium deficiency. I put a couple
of handfulls of limestone (calcium carbonate) around my tomatos to
prevent this.


Would bone meal work as well?

Calcium source does not matter. Don't know the calcium content of bone
meal or wood ashes. Eggshells would work. But some sources are rapid
like the wood ash suggestion or lime. I prefer to take it slowly as
I've nearly killed tomato seedings by fertilizing too much.
