Re: Tomatoes

I've also heard that putting crushed egg shells in the hole before you plant the tomato also helps curb blossom rot, or you can even take crushed egg shells now, and scatter them over the tomatoes. I also water my tomatoes with 2 tablespoons Epsom salt per gallon, when they begin to have blooms, and then do this every two weeks. Epsom salt is a natural fertilizer (magnesium) which tomatoes use heavily during fruit production.
