potted tomato plant with bottom end rot

Question

How do I treat this? I have lost several tomatoes off of this plant and want to avoid losing anymore. I read of using crushed antacid tablets to the soil will alleviate this problem. Is this true?

Answer 1

Tomato blossom rot is caused by calcium deficiency and crushed antacid tablets contain calcium, so I believe that it would be a viable solution.
