I use the Southern Ag calcium nitrate 15.5-0-0 19% calcium. It worked really good on some Parks Whoppers that just kept producing BER tomatoes until I started using the calcium nitrate. I do plant in the ground.

Why would she pull the plants with BER? They often grow right out of it.
As for wilt, I lost my whole garden one year from wilt. It started with our monsoon rains and the hottest corner of the garden. Spread like a a wildfire from one end to the other.
