[QUOTE="Van A Short, post: 5141602, member: 21778"] It is a physiological disease 'Bloosom End Rot" caused by calcium deficiency. Some varieties are more susceptable than others and varieties have been selected for resistance. Sometimes the seed catalogues tell you and sometimes not. Too much water late in the growth of the tomato causing rapid expansion makes the problem worse. Particle size of oyster shells probably not small enough. I always used 'agracultural ground lime' and aplied it the season before. Hydrated lime if you forget. Even with high calaium availabity too much water at the wrong time and it is going to occur with a susceptable variety. [/QUOTE]
