| Tomato Tip: Build a Moat!  | | Tomato Moat |
Many people came in this year with complaints regarding blossom end rot (black blotches at the bottom of tomatoes) on last year's crop. In most cases, this is caused by a lack of water rather than a calcium deficiency, since most soils and potting mixes have an adequate calcium content. Watering should be deep (up to 12") once fruit are set to golfball size in July-August. Build a moat and lay a hose into it. Also avoid regular irrigation moisture on the leaves, since this will promote early and late blight (brown blotches) on the leaves and fruit. |
