Why my tomatoes (still green) start to get spoiled from the bottom.?

Answer 1

Cowboydoc gave you some good advise on growing Tomatoes and Big Daddy is correct in what your problem is. I use the same treatment as Big Daddy. This is also what we do. We add alittle calcium to the soil before we plant and I also use ground eggshells to the soil before we plant.
You will need to get rid of all the blossum end rotted tomatoes because the treatment will prevent it from spreading but will not save what is already damaged. I hope we can all help you with this. It is disappointing when it happens but taking steps next year will help you to prevent it also. And you can salvage the ones left this year. You should still be able to have some luscious tomatoes soon. Enjoy!!

Answer 2

Your tomatoes have "blossom end rot" (BER), a physiological condition caused by a lack of calcium at the growing tip of the fruit. It is also a common problem on peppers. While your soil may have adequate calcium, fluctuations in soil moisture content from dry to wet really increase the incidence of BER. It is especially bad on the early fruit each summer and in sandy soils.
The damage occurs as cells die at the tip of the fruit. In time (and as the fruit grows) the spots enlarge and turn black. So, by the time you see it, the damage actually has already occurred some time back.
Remedies for BER include having a soil test to make sure calcium levels are adequate, adding organic matter to a sandy soil to increase its moisture holding capacity, and keeping plants evenly moist, especially during the development of the first fruits. A thick mulch will help maintain soil moisture.

Answer 3

Every year for the last 45 (forty-five, years) we've tied our tomatoes up on stakes. If they're worth growing, they're worth growing right.
Tomatoes have to be kept wet, the ground should never be allowed to dry out, when you see wilting branches, snip them off with your finger and the nails, it pinches the branch.

Keep "severan" on them when ever you see insects, these may not harm the tomatoes but, they can spread diseases by their contact.
Water only in the early morning hours and after the sun sets. Do not water when they're wilty from the heat of the sun.

We also put a good amount of lime in the soil this year, it seemed to help.

When large branches start to droop, tie them up with electrical ties to the main branches or the stakes. don't let branches hit the ground. If they hit the ground, they'll send out roots and take away from the main plant.

When you first plant them, put them in to the first branch, if they're spindly, snip the lower branches off and plant the deep. Tomatoes have the ability to root on any part of the stem and, this helps them grow.
Put "cut worm" caps around the plants for protection.

Don't run your hands or fingers through the plants, this spreads disease. remember to snip off any diseased branches or plants. Look for wilt, then don't touch other plants, wash your hands good after doing these tasks.
