To: who knows what evil?

NO I didn’t

its my 3rd year on the soil.

I went ahead and did a light epsom salt treatment.

when I pull em up I will add some dolomite

I have 4 volunteer I call them free range plants and they seem to do better than the others.

Thanks for the hint on Tomatoville

I will puruse the site and get some hints as well.

Funny I had no idea what that was and I was seeing it on the green maters and its really ugly before the rot dries out.

THANKS for your help

I grow everything in containers since I am momentarily trapped in Red Hampshire; which has the rockiest soil to be found in the USA. (Granite State? They aren’t kidding.) Every container gets powdered dolomitic lime, and I don’t have ANY trouble with BER.

That is my experience also. Thus far, even though I know the original seed tomato was a hybrid, the volunteers leap to give fruit. Sadly, for me, they are not immune to BER.

Very interested in following your contributions to our threads.
