my plants are needing calcium
How do i ad calcium to my tomato plants?
Add lime or bone meal to the soil.
I'm guessing your plants are showing blossom end rot, where the bottom of the tomato goes gooshy or even woody. This is actually a physiological problem with calcium mobilization that's caused by letting the soil get dry between waterings. You won't see that unless there's sort of a drought-and-drown watering cycle going on.

Use a good layer of mulch to even out the soil water fluctuations, and you won't have trouble with BER.
Reply:needing calcium?? Who says so. I've never heard of tomatoes needing calcium, and I've been gardening for 50 years
Reply:You can buy bone meal at the garden center
Reply:I used to mix in some lime with the soil around the plants.
