Other than that, David has given you the working theory of BER. Paste
(plum) tomatoes seem to be the most susceptible, and most BER will
diminish in severity, or go away altogether with a little time.

When you say go away, do you mean leave well enuf alone and it'll grow out
of this phase?

Is there a difference between municipal groundwater ( hard water from
limestone sources) and rainwater used for watering fruits and vegetable
plants?


BER will often correct itself.

Were I live, just about all our water, agricultural and drinking water
comes out of our river.
