[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5673023, member: 2474"] First time in 40+ years of gardening it's giving me a fit on my Roma plants. Have 30 plants in raised beds, with half being Roma. Others are a mixture of heirloom, Rutgers & beefsteak types. It's only the Roma's that have BER and it's been awful. Think I have picked 3 of them that were good & have chunked over 200 away. Have had Roma's for salsa the past 4 years with no issues. These raised beds are 7 years old, topsoil came from bottom of old pond that was drained. They are composted & turned every year, amended at planting with Bone Meal that is 3-15-0 with 18% calcium &. fed at root level every 7-10 days with Cal Mag which is 2-0-0 with 2% calcium & bunch of micro nutrients. Consistently watered and water never touches leaves unless the good Lord does it. Crops are rotated in beds every year. 10 plants are on the front row and haven't picked a single good tomato off them yet. I've been aggressive with calcium over the past month and it seems to be slowing down. Read where you had to get thru a complete bloom cycle after correcting, hope I'm reaching that point...
