How much lime to treat blossom end rot?
"Susan Wehe" wrote in message
link.net... The foremost problem is that calcium in of itself is not enough, it must be in a form that the plant can absorb through cell walls. I've heard good things about calcium suppliments but have never seen a study that would support their use. Part of the problem also goes to cost, gypsum for instance is cheap and easily taken up, calcium suppliments are not inexpensive and may or may not work. susan I draw a map each year of where I plant various vegetables in the garden. Each fall I plan where everything will be planted in the garden the following year. This allows me to work gypsum into the area where I plan on planting tomatoes the following spring. This gives the gypsum ample time to integrate into the soil before I plant the tomatoes the following year. Since I've been doing this, I have not had a case of blossom end rot. It works! John |
