What is blossom end rot and how do you fix it? 🍅 Ever found sad black spots on the bottoms of your tomatoes or peppers? That’s blossom end rot. What is it? 🤔 A calcium deficiency in the fruit itself, usually not in the soil. Why does it happen? ✅ Inconsistent watering ✅ Rapid growth spurts ✅ Fluctuations in soil moisture How to help: ✔️ Keep moisture consistent ✔️ Use mulch to hold moisture ✔️ Avoid over-fertilizing with high nitrogen ✔️ Add calcium if needed, but usually consistent watering solves it Even though there’s no hope for a fruit with the black spot you don’t have to worry too much! Plants will keep producing healthy tomatoes if you get the watering right! #tomato #tomatoes #blossomendrot #rot #water #tip #tips #garden #gardening #farm #theshilohfarm #science #education #helpful #101 #fruit #crop #plant #plants #shilohfarm
