Why do her tomatoes turn brown and soggy at the bottom?!


Question:

Why do her tomatoes turn brown and soggy at the bottom?

My friend has recently made a garden but, at the bottom of the tomatoes the end is getting brown and soggy. What should she do to stop it?


Answers:
It is called blossom end rot. Please see the website below for management strategies. It is a fact sheet from Cornell.

make sure they are not touching anything as the grow and ripen

are the tomatoes resting on the ground? if she isn't already, have her put cages around the plants so that they grow up and not out.

Is she feeding them a special tomato fertilizer she should be to make them plump i think it contains more potasium than regular fertilizer
