Cletus, no one knows all the factors when it comes to tomato growing and diseases, but I do think that your mentor really was using it for BER prevention. But as I said above, so much new information has been discovered in the last 20 years or so that about the only time that adding the milk to the planting hole would be if someone had a soil with NO Ca++ or soil that was very acidic and both of the situations are rare.

I think it's great that you have kept that recipe going b'c it's part of your family legacy.
