Topic: What's wrong with my tomato plants?

[amphibian]

. How does everyone else plant up their tomatoes?

I grow them in big poly pots, they are nice and deep, I support using a cord tied to a cane parallel to the ground.

I als grow some plants in florists buckets, I have pinched these out at only two trusses.

And then top them up with more compost as they grow, bb?

String? I know that that's the professional way, but tried it for the first time last year & it was a disaster!!

OK one of my toms, San Morenzo (I think) has BER - not sure about the calcium and spraying, please could somebody be kind enough to tell me what I need to go and buy and what I need to do with it? It is only this plant that has problems, all the others are growing like mad and making beautiful fruits. I have taken off the affected fruit and thrown them away.

Thanks in advance

Not too sure where you can get things, but you need soluble Calcium - it's in powder/granule form.

2g/litre, I think - 2 or 3 sprays over a week.

DON'T throw out the marked fruit - just cut off the funny bit. If it is BER.
