Yes it got me for the first two years of my grow bags growing tomatoes. But then I discovered a guy up in Alaska who does "a little container growing"
and I started to use the same fertilizer (4-18-38) he uses and my BER issues have almost completely disappeared. That guy really really knows what he is doing. One other issue that was contributing to my BER problem was maintaining a consistent moisture range in my bags. The last 3 yrs. have been very successful for me and I never would have believed how productive my plants have been. Considerably more productive than 40 yrs of growing them in the ground. I think I will try this permanent mulch idea this year as I'm sure it will help to maintain moisture levels.
