 Fixing Blossom End Rot: Tips for Healthier Vegetables 🍅


Blossom end rot is a common problem in tomatoes and other fruits. It’s caused by calcium deficiency and inconsistent watering. Here’s how to prevent it:


1. Consistent Watering: Water regularly and evenly to maintain soil moisture.

2. Calcium Supplements: Add calcium to the soil with crushed eggshells, lime, or gypsum.

3. Mulching: Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

4. Avoid Over-Fertilizing: Too much nitrogen can inhibit calcium uptake.

5. Proper Drainage: Ensure good drainage to prevent water stress.


Tips:

- Test soil pH and ensure it’s in the optimal range for your plants.

- Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses to provide consistent moisture.

- Rotate crops to prevent soil nutrient depletion and disease buildup.
