My 3rd year growing tomatoes and I have struggled with blossom end rot on my larger tomatoes every year. This year I put my whole garden on a 48-hr drip and it is still an issue. I have amended the soil with calcium. I have dissolved calcium in a watering can and covered the leaves. Nothing seems to help.

I'm beginning to think the problem is the people that grow the tomatoes in the nursery.

@@conniemarich6033 I was talking to a guy who grows tomatoes commercially and explained my problem. I had set my drip system at 45 minutes every 2 days based on internet advice, which he explained is 2.625 gallons a week. He said that commercial tomatoes get 5 gallons a week so even though my plants weren't wilting at all, they were under-watered. Fingers crossed!

@@lanceverbose1763 Any update? I drip water my tomatoes every day for 45 minutes. (I live in AZ, 105° or more every day) I still get rot on some but this year I've only had 4 so far. Last year everyone of mine had rot

I feel the same... this is my third year with it.. I treat with CA Nitrate per nursery, spray with CA spray, fertilize and nothing works. I'm about ready to give up on trying to grow tomatoes. Water daily in Western Co and feel that should be enough?

I have beautiful plants with tons of green fruit on them. They're all indeterminate growing in containers. My problem has been too much rain followed by days of pretty extreme heat, then surprise evening thunderstorms _after_ I've watered them (yes, I check the weather forecast. One day, for instance, the chance of rain for the evening was 5-10% after a very hot day, so I watered. About an hour after I watered them, the bottom fell out!). I plant in potting soil with a handful of lime, I use Miracle Gro and spray with aspirin, and a fertilizer. What would you suggest for situations like this? Prayer? Lol! I do that already! 😉😉

I planted mine in worm castings in a pot. Could that have anything to do with it also?

Great, thank you very much. I noticed some blossom end rot on my tomato plants that are near a house wall and don't get rain water because of that. I noticed that the soil is usually dry and like you I have not had a regular watering schedule for those plants. I will now follow your advice and try watering them more frequently.

Hi. Thank you for this video. I’m from Eastern Europe. There are some certain varieties of tomatoes that never get that ber. Almost same location, same watering. Many years ago there weren’t such issues. I think the old varieties just don’t get the rot. So I guess it’s a kind of disease, or a weakness.

It's only occurring on my larger Healthy Kick variety. My Roma and Cherry Tomato varieties, planted all in the same garden getting the same amount of water, are fine.

I am convinced that with the mass production in gardening supplies results in soil deprivation. How do I know this, simple... Our young tomato plants were looking poor until we fed them. After they perked up.
