My tomatoes seem to do better in my soil here when I add a Tums to the plants in the hole when I put them outside.
They are a easy source of Calcium and are cheap . You can get a sugar free Tums if you are concerned with same.

Anybody else have any home remedies for plant deficiences?

I see I’m talking to myself here.
That could all end pretty quick.

Bob, wish I could talk intelligently here but can’t … I haven’t grown vegetables and fortunately (knock on wood) haven’t had any real issues with my perennials over the years. So not a subject I am real familiar with, sorry … :-(
