What happens here
Blossom end rot is primarily caused by a calcium deficiency in the soil. To address this, take used eggshells, crumble them up right after use, and place them directly around the base of your tomato plants. Alternatively, eggshells can be added to your compost heap to enrich the soil with calcium over time.
Goal: Provide sufficient calcium to tomato plants for healthy fruit development.
