      It is calcium deficiency but pulverizing egg shells won’t solve the problem fast enough, since they’ll still have to be decomposed further before being available to plants.

      Either use a specific tomato fertiliser, or better still : manage your watering better, as it is often the real cause.

      My wife cracks an egg and drops the shell into each hole when we do transplants.

      As I understand it a crushed antacid works quicker, since the calcium is ground up much finer. Eggshells work more in the long term.

      Egg shells go in the compost. Smash 'em up a little to increase surface area.
