Yes, it's normally a lack of calcium or the ability to use calcium due to lack of moisture (AFAIK). It apparently can also be caused by prolonged Pacific Northwest type weather - cool temps, lots of rain, not as much sun as normal.
Every person I've talked with is having this problem, so I cannot help but presume it is not the lack of calcium in the soil.
One web site suggested spraying with Calcium Chloride - anyone tried this? Or am I as well off to just toss the toms that develop it and hope the weather dries and warms up?
