Questions & Answers
Rotten Tomatoes?
I have grown outdoor tomatoes for the first time. I am surprised at how much fruit there is. Only problem is that as soon as they start to ripen they go black underneath, Any Idea's
You are describing Blossom End Rot. This it thought to be caused by insufficient calcium. However, don't rush out to by a calcium supplement for your soil. This calcium deficiency is probably caused by irregular watering and a fluctuation in water levels. Water carries calcium throughout the tomato plant. Without enough water, the calcium, which is being used first for foliage growth, doesn't make its way to the fruits. Other factors may include: too much nitrogen fertilizer, too much salt in the soil, root damage and a soil pH that is too high or too far below the optimum 6.5.
There's no saving the rotting fruits. Remove the affected fruits, make sure the plants are getting at least and inch of water per week, correct any other problems, mulch under the plants and you should see improvement.
Does any one have information on using rotten tomatoes in your septic tank?
Someone told my brother-in-law they only use rotten tomatoes in their septic tank, no chemicals. They apparently have never had to have their tank pumped. Wondering if this actually works...
Tomatoes have a lot of solids in the form of fiber and seeds. Usually tanks need to be pumped when solids build up in them. In addition, "rotten" tomatoes are moldy and I don't think mold is going to dissolve solids in the septic tank and clean it through.
how do u prevent black rotten spots on tomatoes when ripening?
ea year I plant tomatoes in big pots on my patio. when they begain to ripe or develop fruit, the all have black rotten spots on them. how do I prevent them?
What you have sounds like blossom end rot which is caused by a calcium deficit. The following info is cut and pasted from hgic.clemson.edu info sheet number #1323
Blossom-end rot can be a serious problem with tomatoes. The main symptom is a dark-colored dry rot of the blossom ends of the fruit. It occurs when there are extremes in soil moisture, which cause calcium deficiency in the fruit. When rain or irrigation follows a dry spell, the roots cannot take up calcium fast enough to keep up with the rapid fruit growth. Blossom-end rot also occurs if the delicate feeder roots are damaged during transplanting or by deep cultivation near the plants.
The following measures will help prevent blossom-end rot:
Test the soil and maintain a pH between 6 and 6.5 and an adequate calcium level by liming or applying gypsum.
Mulch with 2 to 3 inches of materials such as grass clippings, pine straw and leaves. Mulching prevents rapid soil drying and allows roots to take up available calcium efficiently.
Do not overfertilize plants with nitrogen or potash. Excessive amounts of these nutrients depress the uptake of calcium.
Keep moisture levels fairly uniform by regular watering and by maintaining a mulch layer around the base of the plants. Water plants during extended dry periods. Tomatoes need 1 to 1 ½ inches of water per week.
Add organic matter to the soil. This will help "loosen" clay soils and will improve the water-holding capacity of sandy soils. In either soil, organic matter will increase plant uptake of water and calcium.
****
There is also a spray for blossom end rot you should be able to find at a garden center or a box store's garden area. Just tell them your tomatoes have blossom end rot and you need spray to fix it.
Good luck
