Thank you all for all the great suggestions.
Tracydr: I think Snippits is asking me to pull out the tomato fruit with BER not the plants
.
I will try to get some Calcium Nitrate. You are right my soil is quite basic. The PH of the original yellow muddy soil is 8.6, So I build the raised bed with a foot tall compost/garden soil mix. I test the compost I purchased this year the PH is 7.5 and I tested PH of Pro-Mix BX and it is 7.3. So I have nothing in my backyard with pH less than 7. I tested the black/red mulch from Lowes the pH is 5.4 but I don't like the color they added to my veggie plants. So I ran out of economical method to neutralize the soil. Maybe I can dump some vinegar
. I need to find some iron too. Maybe I can lay the rusted T-post and chicken wire in the ground
CharlstonSC: Please share your container mix recipe. I am very discouraged this year
