No matter what I do, I always have it. I want to nip it in the but this year.

I have put lime in the hole, blood meal (someone told me to) never seems to work i've used egg shells. even the stupid spray that is for blossom end rot.

I had a whole truck load of lime put on my garden 2 years ago. the ph is almost 7 just a tad less.

I found a recipe I wanted to try, got it out of jerry's back yard problem solver book

1 heaping shovel compost
1 tsp gypsum
1 tsp epsom salts

water in crushed egg shells around the plant when watering.

What is gypsum and where can I get it?

And what are your home made remedies for blossom end rot. I am abou tto plant my maters and want some advice.
