My tomatoes are developing black bottoms when they ripen.?

Question

They look fine until they start to turn red, then they begin to rot from the bottom. Any ideas?

Answer 1

When tomatoes get black on the bottom, it's from rot... called Blossom End Rot. It's caused by improper moisture (or too much moisture).

There's not really anything you can do except remove the affected fruits, and toss them out so it doesn't spread to the rest of the bunch. :(

Sorry about the rot!~~ Better luck next time. ^^

Oh, I also found another site that said it might be insuffient calcium... interesting. I didn't know that one. ^^
