I just recently discovered one of my plants had BER, it's in the same bed with another plant that's doing fine. According to this article they say to use Bone meal so I'm trying it and will post results. Here's the article: www.homestead-acres.com/blossom-end-rot-on-tomatoes/
You're lying about eggshells. Eggshells will take many years to add enough calcium to the soil, & is likely to be sluiced out of the soil by rain, as fast as it is added by eggshells. Because of this basic lack of knowledge, I've decided to get the flock out of here.
@@ChickHaven It's not a pov, it's a fact. Soil seldom has a calcium deficiency, so when you get ber it's likely to be one of two problems: watering , which, if you are gardening outside is difficult to control, or an overly high level of potassium in the soil. in both cases a feed of MgS (Epsom salts) is efficacious, because the magnesium is a potassium antagonist, which will allow your plants to take up calcium, & the Sulphate will help with adsorption of all minerals, including calcium. Foliar or drench feed. In the unlikely event that you do have a calcium deficiency in your soil, the best treatment is pelleted composted chicken manure, which is up to 6% Ca, & which breaks down quickly, or, if your pH is low enough, some powdered garden lime or dolomite lime.

Ty for your point of view. I’ve used them for years now and for me I see the benefits

What are your thoughts on spraying epsom salts (diluted) directly on the plants?
@@ChickHaven That is what is meant by, "foliar feed."
