My tomatoes are rotting from the bottom. Can you tell me why? A friend said it is a fungus. Need help. Thank you

Answer

That sounds like blossom end rot. It is a disease that you will have to treat the soil. Inactivate is a product that will help. You may also want to make sure you water in the A.M. No overhead watering, and make sure you soak the soil. You could add some calcium to the soil as well.
