So, I'm dreaming of gardening while it pours rain outside, and started wondering about blossom end rot. It's not been a huge problem for me, but it does happen now and then. I've read about putting eggshells or powdered milk in the hole when you place your seedling, has anyone tried oyster shell? I have a huge ol' bag of it for the chickens, and since they're all new layers they don't need hardly any. Would this type of calcium be available for the plants to absorb?
