Martin,

You may find the information at the link, below, helpful for your tomato blossom end rot problem. This page explains the hows and whys of using Epsom Salts to prevent and even treat blossom end rot. Also, in future, try planting tomato plants in holes that have been given a nice scoop of bone meal or some such that is usually recommended for planting bulbs. HTH.

Don't generally have much to add to the discussions here but certainly learn a lot and appreciate the info/ideas!
