On a side note I was suffering from Blossom End Rot on my tomatoes and on my zucchini. I did some research and found that it results from either calcium deficiency or from a deficiency in the micronutrients that allow the plant to take up calcium. All that is pretty well known but how does one fix it quickly? Lots of suggestions online from making a slurry of calcium pellets for them, or watering with milk (and attracting animals, lol) through to using tums antacids. I chose the last one. 2 tums to a gallon of water. I dropped them in the blender with a cup of hot water, blended till smooth and then added it to the gallon container and topped with colder water. Not sure how it will work but it makes sense. BER is a disappointing development that I will avoid next year by using calcium pellets when I do my potting. But for now, 2 tums for the plants and one for me to remove the heartburn caused by not treating the BER sooner, lol!
