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!
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
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! 😉😉
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.
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.
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?
