Zucchini blossom end rot

As I understand it the problem is due to deficiency of calcium in the plant which can be brought about by uneven water availability or lack of calcium in the soil. Well my zuccs have not been watered unevenly, they have neither been saturated not allowed to wilt and they are well mulched. The soil has been amended with lime and gypsum. Could there be a problem with water penetration due to the mulch? I know I have to be quite careful of mulch on our low pressure, gravity fed, country water supply and fluff the mulch every now and then or otherwise the watering isnt' even. I don't think so, the zuccs and other stuff in that bed are growing quickly and not wilting on hot days so I reckon the water is good. But I will insert the diagnostic finger more often to be sure. Thanks. David |
