I'm a dog groomer. I've been using dirty dog hair for years to 1. MULCH Veggies 2. Keep critters out of my garden (drop hair all around the border of your garden) Keeps deer, coons, and other pesky critters away!
Great, thank you very much. I noticed some blossom end rot on my tomato plants that are near a house wall and don't get rain water because of that. I noticed that the soil is usually dry and like you I have not had a regular watering schedule for those plants. I will now follow your advice and try watering them more frequently.
I have beautiful plants with tons of green fruit on them. They're all indeterminate growing in containers. My problem has been too much rain followed by days of pretty extreme heat, then surprise evening thunderstorms _after_ I've watered them (yes, I check the weather forecast. One day, for instance, the chance of rain for the evening was 5-10% after a very hot day, so I watered. About an hour after I watered them, the bottom fell out!). I plant in potting soil with a handful of lime, I use Miracle Gro and spray with aspirin, and a fertilizer. What would you suggest for situations like this? Prayer? Lol! I do that already! 😉😉
Thank you so much for your information. You nailed it you explained it thank you very much you are so sweet you are so sweet. Explaining why it's happening it makes total sense now my soil is so hard I'm going to Water by hand a couple times a week 5 gallon bottle I have straw down I don't think the sprinkler get the soil wet enough
It's only occurring on my larger Healthy Kick variety. My Roma and Cherry Tomato varieties, planted all in the same garden getting the same amount of water, are fine.
My 3rd year growing tomatoes and I have struggled with blossom end rot on my larger tomatoes every year. This year I put my whole garden on a 48-hr drip and it is still an issue. I have amended the soil with calcium. I have dissolved calcium in a watering can and covered the leaves. Nothing seems to help.
@@conniemarich6033 I was talking to a guy who grows tomatoes commercially and explained my problem. I had set my drip system at 45 minutes every 2 days based on internet advice, which he explained is 2.625 gallons a week. He said that commercial tomatoes get 5 gallons a week so even though my plants weren't wilting at all, they were under-watered. Fingers crossed!
@@lanceverbose1763 Any update? I drip water my tomatoes every day for 45 minutes. (I live in AZ, 105° or more every day) I still get rot on some but this year I've only had 4 so far. Last year everyone of mine had rot
I feel the same... this is my third year with it.. I treat with CA Nitrate per nursery, spray with CA spray, fertilize and nothing works. I'm about ready to give up on trying to grow tomatoes. Water daily in Western Co and feel that should be enough?
I am convinced that with the mass production in gardening supplies results in soil deprivation. How do I know this, simple... Our young tomato plants were looking poor until we fed them. After they perked up.

Thank you for this very helpful video! Hopefully adding mulch will do the trick for my container tomatoes
Found this for the first time on my lemon boy tomato. Thanks for the insight on how to treat it

First time grower. This happened to me today. Most of my tomatoes unfortunately.
Thanks so much for the info and doing it in a short video.
Ready to rip all my plants up and toss this year, I'll remember this for next year.
Excellent video - Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I only noticed it 2day.😮😢😮😮😮
I planted mine in worm castings in a pot. Could that have anything to do with it also?
Thank you so much. It has been so hot here, over 100 degrees and I have watered ea. day .I thought if watered in the heat it cook the plants
Thank you. I’m having this problem

My giant Russians got hit hardest, can confirm
That's probably because those large varieties need more water.

I'm beginning to think the problem is the people that grow the tomatoes in the nursery.
I have done everything also and still nothing works, I think their bad from start!
