On wikipedia, I read that spaghum peat moss sucks the calcium out of the soil. . . this will create blossom end rot, right? Is there anyway that I can add calcium? Will mashed up calcium pills work? (My cost per tomato presuming I get any is getting kind of ridiculous, and I have those sitting around. . .)
Seriously, I have very little sun space (I thought my plot was full sun,) so I have about 15 extra tomato plants. Would it be wiser to pull out the peated plants and re-amend the beds? I'd rather spend some extra time on this and have good tomatoes than be done with it and have a crop of ick or blossom end rot!!!
Thanks again, and ps. . . I'm growing organically. . .I don't know if this makes my poor choices potentially more fatal. . .
If I get any maters out of this I promise to share! ;0)
