I bake eggshells, powder them fine, reduce them vinegar and dilute the liquid 1: 20 and water my tomatoes. Yet, Blossom End Rot, even as it manifests as a calcium deficiency, its rarely so. Its more an inconsistent watering problem. When water is less, the calcium uptake decreases and the plant gives preference to leaves rather than fruit. One may find BER on fruits higher up on the stem and none on the lower fruits. That's the watering problem. To overcome this, deep water the plant, keeping it in shade, strip-off all the lower and older leaves; add some calcium water too and once fresh leaves sprout, move the container into sunlight. And water consistently and regularly.

Great video! I've definitely added expired vitamins to my compost bins and watered plants with spoiled milk! I use any water I cook with to plants because I can't waste anything!

My mom tried eggshell water this year. A lot of it. The results were night and day. Everything is big, green and lush.
She lives in the middle of town where the soil is pretty much spent of a lot of nutrients. Her compost bin is pretty small in comparison to the garden size.
Last year there was a real problem with blossom end rot and blight. We took a look at the different plants and figured it was calcium deficiency.
It's just past mid season and everything looks incredible. It's amazing how doing one small thing can have such a huge impact.

Great advice, I was desperate one year and used tums for foliar spray. One tomato had end rot, the others grew normally. I used many of your own advice on other things and they all work well.

Black board chalk stocks are made from gypsum in South India. However use of calcium supplements by chalk stick is a very good option.

[dalemccorkel]

it has been decades since blossom end rot was an issue. of course, there was no interweb back then. i incorporate ground-up eggshells into my soil mixes. for fairly quick calcium availability i used dehydrated nonfat milk ... 👌🏿
