    Does anyone know the cure for blossom end rot on tomatoes? My plants get a lime mix of calcium and magnesium and some epson salt. Just one plant is giving me a problem and all the others are fine.

    While calcium deficiency is a cause of BER, inconsistent soil moisture seems to be a bigger factor in my garden. A short dry spell (a few days) in the garden during a short window in fruit formation seems to be all it takes. Now that I water consistently regardless of rainfall, I have no issues with BER.

    Thanks for your answer to my question. I think I will go out and water them now.
