[QUOTE="Wildcat, post: 2860208, member: 402"] BER can be helped with calcium and lime but not stoped. No mater what we do it will still pop up on just about any tomato plant. The tomatoes you already have will not be helped once they start to show signs of BER but the ones coming from the new blooms will. The very best thing a person can do is mix in the lime in his garden this FALL AND WINTER for the garden next spring. It takes anywhere from 4 to 6 months for the lime to break down. People that use the same patch of land for their gardens year after year think that adding the lime when they plant in the spring is helping their garden that same year when in truth it was last years lime that's doing the work. But the mistake here is the lime now has been in the ground for 12 full months and it's not at it's peak, let's call it half instead of full. If you plant in April then the best time to put the lime in is Nov the year before. [/QUOTE]
