PaulF · September 13, 2020

For me BER is not a problem because everything has gone to in-ground growing. Years ago about ten plants went into 5 or 10 gallon buckets and grow-bags. Every year BER was common in those container grown tomatoes.

No matter what the watering regimen the early fruits had BER and even some into mid season. My growing medium was soilless mix with supplemental fertilization throughout the season.

It wasn't worth the effort so all tomato growing returned to in-ground with no real problem since then.
