*Just do this ONE time and water consistently.
Blossom End-Rot turns the bottom of your tomatoes brown. It occurs because your plants can't easily utilize the calcium in the soil or their is not enough calcium in the soil for the plant. In either case I recommend adding lime in the form of a liquid slurry.
Thanks so much for your support! Cheers & Thanks, Gary!

Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) how often do you need to add calcium?

@AndyFaeBaker0890 5 лет назад

Mr. Gary Hello I have been watching your tomatoe videos. I live in Missouri and I have two potted tomatoe plants. We have been having a huge amount of rain here which I believe it what started my BER SITUATION. LOL so I went and bought lime. Mine was brown. Is this correct? Yours looked grey. Also i watched your APHID video. Oh man it truly works!!!!! I did two treatments and they were dead within hours!!

@joannehaberkorn1304 4 года назад

How often do u need to add the solution to ground planted tomato plants?

@horseblinderson4747 3 года назад

It can also happen if your soil gets to acidic, often times there's plenty of calcium. It just can't be used because either of the PH or because the roots are too dry, wet, or don't get enough oxygen. I've of the ways this works is that lime is slightly alkiline as well as being a buffer so it'll raise your pH but only do high. As well as not adding excessive Nitrate which can cause it too.

@BizzyArtist 3 года назад

Thank you so much for making this so clear and simple. I'll definitely be checking out the Amazon links after I treat my tomatoes because we've had 9 inches of rain in the last month here in Texas :-)

Very good information Gary! You can also take two crushed 750-1000 mg Tums tablets and add them to a gallon of water, then thoroughly soak the roots with that mixture. You can also put those crushed tablets in a gallon of water in a pump sprayer and spray directly on to the leaves of the tomato plant.

What did you buy ?

@marymaynor3298 11 месяцев назад

You have to be careful with crashing tums or other chewable inacids due to also having baking soda. Chewable inacids will do in a pinch but it's definitely not something I'd do often or very long. Your better off getting calcium sulfate for gardening.

What kind lime

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 10 лет назад

You can. However it takes some time for the eggshells to give up their calcium. They are good to use at planting. In an emergency I like the lime because the root systems can pick it up quicker.

@kimm.8165 4 года назад

How often do you add the mix to the plants?

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 11 лет назад

That is a good habit. The bone meal keep the supply of calcium in the ground nicely over time.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 11 лет назад

It happens. That is why I do the preventative now-a-days.

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing this treatment with the world. It was my first year growing a container garden and all seven of my tomato plants had blossom end rot. I had to use this treatment twice but we have managed to have two productive harvests thus far from the plants. Thank you!!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 8 лет назад

@Ottee2 4 года назад

I needed this advice. Came to it from a google search. Thank you.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 10 лет назад

There can be calcium in the soil and a plant might not be able to use because of other deficiencies. I am not sure how potassium effects calcium uptake but I do recall it can cause problems. Adding calcium won't hurt.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 11 лет назад

The beefsteaks are sometimes 85-90 day maturity. They may kick in production in the next week or two. Don't prune anymore. Give it some liquid fertilizer and wait.

@CA-lf7jt 4 года назад

My teardrop tomatoes r fine- in same raised bed as the larger tomatoes which all have it! Great video! About to stir it up now!

@CCbalconygarden 11 лет назад

I see. I did add some garden lime at the beginning of the season. I'm having problem with BER in my raised bed garden - there I am not so worried about the pH since there is a lot of soil to buffer things out. Thanks again for the tip.

@rwtattoo 11 лет назад

Bone mean also works well for blossom end rot, but can not be mixed with water like this. I have used it this year by just dumping bone meal on the plants, and then watering them so the powder/product runs down and into the soil. I will for sure be using this method in my future container and soil grows. I hear it's great for peppers as well. Thanks for sharing Gary.

@SabineRiverAuthority 10 лет назад

Brilliant! Of course if it is a deficiency, the plant will have to take the calcium up with the water, regardless if there is a potassium issue. Thanks Gary

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 11 лет назад

Not sure if my other post go through. Yes PH is concern but not at this quantity. Container soil is changed often and if you are added things to your garden it should work out fine. Think like peat moss or even liquid fertilizers that have an acidity to them. Calcium when planting and this supplement 1x a season. It is just 2 handfuls per gallon that will be spread out over several plants.

You could skip lime and use gypsum. Lime slurry is great for emergencies when the ber is there. If ph is a worry... Gypsum.

@aidanngreenwolfe200 4 года назад

Do you make a slurry with the gypsum? Same idea?

@bobjohnson2920 4 года назад

@@aidanngreenwolfe200 my PH is already around 7 so I'm going with Gypsum. There is 15% Sulfur in the pelletized Gypsum that I purchased so it may even lower my PH to 6.5.6.7 which is perfect for tomatoe plants. If my PH drops under 6, I wouldn't be afraid to use Lime as shown in video.

@SPRINGHILLFUN 10 лет назад

I bought some plants this year that were low in calcium got the first harvest of three peppers sad lost two of peppers but was able to save the other one. Plant is doing great after adding calcium and Epsom salt.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 10 лет назад

Those are two good combos to add.

@SPRINGHILLFUN 10 лет назад

Most people don't realize it's that simple to fix the problem from the start. Take my advice if you buy plants give them some calcium and Epsom salt right away. I was shocked I got these plant like that because they were Bonnie plants which cost a lot of money not cheap. I have never bought plants before and don't think I will do it again it's to easy to start your owe.

we get our rot at the end of the season. we water daily with large self watering pots. we live in Chicago, and the water is 8.0 ph. Tested it myself. We don't touch the roots, in fact, the soil is covered to prevent weeds. last year, our plants were over 9 feet tall. We have the healthiest fruit until the end of season.

I'm not sure how building lime differs. Gypsum is a good alternative to adding calcium to your garden. It supposedly doesn't affect ph.

@1775novten 11 лет назад

Yes, I bought the beefsteak and Roma from home depot. I started the red pear tomato plants from seed. The Roma tomatoes are producing a lot, although they are really small, but only one of the beefsteak plants has any tomatoes on it and it only has two tomatoes so far. I don't see any tomatoes on the other beefsteak tomato plants.

@1775novten 11 лет назад

Great vid. I added pulverized lime to my soil in the beginning of the season this year and no end rot as of yet - fingers crossed. Last year, I had a big problem with end rot. So the lime definitely seems to be working for me this year.

@randyb3347 Год назад

I was wondering why he suggested pelletized lime rather than pulverized. Both should work I would imagine.

When in doubt a little liquid fertilizing won't hurt. Your right rain and watering does rinse the container soil. A little lime will prevent blossom end rot.

Hmm curious as to why you cant put it right in. Because it is pulverized I am assuming there would be concern it would be concentrated on top of the soil and possible damage surface root leaves. Are you putting it on tomatoes with blossom end rot or just adding it into your garden for future soil development?

On it this year Gary!

@patchesor362 8 лет назад

Good information and thanks. Sure wish I'd found this earlier but I am now forewarned for next growing season! I added a LOT of dolomite lime to all my pots last fall for overwintering and I think that created a problem with uptake of calcium!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 8 лет назад

Good luck next year.

@HerLovesBooks 11 лет назад

Thanks, Gary. All I have is containers and a small raised bed. I'm not showing any signs of blossom end rot, but it has been pouring rain for over a week here in Atlanta. I'm thinking rain may have washed my fertilizer away so I should do this.

@moirbasso7051 4 года назад

Gary, this is quick, easy, and eminently doable. I had watched your 'use eggshells and white vinegar' video, and the family dutifully collected eggshells along with me.... but here it is July, (what?!) and I haven't gotten around to using the darn dried eggshells, which are merely resting in a small copper compost bin in our pantry! As my grown from seed and bought in a nursery tomatoes are both going crazy big and strong, (like I have NEVER seen before) in both container and plot, and massive amounts of tomato flowers have just appeared (and peppers have fruits already thumb sized), I thought, Yowza! 'Time for Lime.' So, I found some "Garden Lime" at El Big Box [Lowe's], made the 'Tomato café au lait' slurry, and give my toms/pepps/zukes their version of a 'caffeine jolt.' I can now set up the eggshell/vinegar solution, and put it in, at end of season, to amend soil for the future. But this time, I am NOT going to have BER either in my containers or in the garden bed, thanks to the Rusted Garden! Your videos rock, as the kids say....

Just lime it once and since it is not an emergency... you dont need much. Keep it evenly watered is the key. Please visit, The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

@leavittfamilymedicine5456 3 года назад

Hi there, thanks so much for your great video. What is your suggestion for how often to do this for tomatoes as a preventive for blossom and rot?

@ashleybolton4148 3 года назад

How funny that as I googled how to treat/prevent blossom end rot, this video is the one that popped up. The voice was so familiar, then I clicked on the youtube channel, and it’s Gary!!! So good to “see” you! I started gardening last year, and tomatoes are giving me a tough time this year. Lime slurries coming right up!!!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 3 года назад

Just need this 1x and then stick with consistent watering. Good luck.

Lime smoothies? For the gardner or the garden?? Maybe both??

@MSS726 10 лет назад

I added eggshells to my container tomatoes, and maybe it was too late, but they did nothing. Trying the limestone this year, and added it today. I have a few plants with rot, but not all, so the season is not lost!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 10 лет назад

Eggshells are good to add every year. They take some time to breakdown so its a longer term fix. Limestone will act quickly.

Excellent tip, tomato plants are heavy calcium users.

@calcat7375 4 года назад

Will this also work on squash? You have the most beautiful garden😁Thanks for you're helpful videos.😎

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 11 лет назад

That is a tuff question to answer. First you need good drainage and that will prevent over watering. Second you have to know your zone. The key is to never let container tomatoes dry out. I have to increase my watering form 1x every other day, to 1x a day, to 2x a day with saucer water reserve come the heat. For the ground 2x a week when it is cooler. 3-4 week when the heat hits. There is not exact method. Using soaker hoses creates a more even a routine wathering habit. I dont use them.

@indiebaby 9 лет назад

"If you have it, you know it" Damn skippy you do. Great video! Must buy lime. Gonna make that a reminder!

@A.B.1957 Год назад

Hi Gary and thanks so much for this video….hahahah, I just noticed how old it is!!! If you are still getting notifications on this I would like to thank you for this as we followed your instructions here and it helped immediately!! Now we’re wondering how often it should be done as a preventative measure? Thanks again!!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 11 месяцев назад

I still do and you only have to do this 1x or so. Just stay up on watering. Good luck.

My husband saw that putting a raw egg/shell in the hole before you plant was good. Also powdered milk. We did both these things on his plants and his first two tomatoes have end rot. I had ever heard of that before but lots of times we had it on one branch or just a few of tomatoes and then it went away on its own. I will report back on my plants to let you see which worked the best. We will also try the lime or gypsum as someone else suggested.

The milk is a myth

I use osmocote in my containers on my deck, haven’t had blossom end rot. Osmocote has 1.9% calcium and is slow release.

@MatthewSaratoreGarden 10 лет назад

Gary, HELP! I love your channel and watch all the time. I did your solution for Blossom End Rot. I'm growing in raised beds with composted horse manure, peat moss and vermiculite. How long will it take for the pelleted lime to solve the problem. Thanks so much! I've cut off the bad fruit but am still seeing some show up. If there is anything else I should do please let me know. Thanks again!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 7 лет назад

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 10 лет назад

Im not familiar with a cause. It is a few tomatoes or all of them on the same plant?

@missourigirl4101 6 лет назад

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 6 лет назад

Glad to help. Only needs to be done 1x.

@myu500 11 лет назад

When I initially planted my seedlings, I had stirred in crushed eggshells into the soil. I also followed your advice in pulverizing eggshells in a coffee grinder. It made a kind of powder that I added to a cup of water and apply like once every couple of weeks. Not everything dissolves, but I suspect the small particles will break down in due time. No BER but my tomatoes are young. Do you think adding lime would be overkill at this point?

@eddietruly8807 8 лет назад

I have my plants in ground so I used 15 gallons of water about 15 handful of lime pellets to soak my roots..gonna make a lighter slurry to spray on the plants...God bless

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 8 лет назад

That should be plenty. Keep the water consistent and hope for the best.

Romas get this terribly. Just do this 1x and keep water even and consistent. Good luck. v

@silvertonguedaywalker9116 3 года назад

Hi Darling love from England x Found 2 Tomatoes from different plants have them. All our Toms are in Containers. Live to toh and yiud Wife x stag safe and well. We will be getting that lime x

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 3 года назад

Just do the lime thing 1x. The rest is even watering

@surfearth1 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip! I used miracle grow potting soil this year and was surprised to have this issue. I also amended my raised garden bed with miracle grow garden soil and my zucchini started strong the faltered and turned yellow as well. Researching some say calcium is again the culprit. So, I put the slurry in my zucchini as well. My question is how often do you need to continue to do this? Once a week, month? Or, just once? Thanks for the help.

@1775novten 11 лет назад

I think the soil may be a huge contributing factor. The red pear that is in my bed that is tilled and amended native soil is growing out of control. The ones that are in my taller raised bed with garden soil bought from the store aren't doing so good. So can see in my vids the two different locations that I'm referring to. I need to add an update vid to show the huge difference between the two.

@heyitsthatoneguy91 4 года назад

One of my tomato plants was basically sterile all summer. I'm in KC and it was HOT. Now, the cooler days are amongst us and it's got like 8 tomatoes! Did notice BER on 2 of them though

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 4 года назад

That is strange.
