Why do tomatoes like egg shells? Bet ya didn't know this!

guys this is josh stoneyridge farmer welcome to another quick tips video you see what i've got here i hang on to all my eggshells do you know why because these tomatoes need calcium calcium is what causes that black spot on the end of your tomato plant so a calcium deficiency causes blossom end rot the way we fix this is with eggshells so we take these eggshells and we crush them up if you don't want to do it with your hands your hands aren't tough enough just use a potato masher save all your eggshells then we take that we crush it up good we sprinkle it into our plant bed right here and we incorporate that right into the soil all around our tomato plants and that prevents blossom end rot on your tomatoes you hear the chickens guys we'll see in the next video on the stony ridge farm woo
