Trying out some low-tech drip irrigation: gallon jug + pin hole.

From what I've been reading/watching about dealing with blossom end rot, it's caused by a calcium deficiency caused by inconsistent moisture levels.

The moisture in the soil is what is going to allow the plant to send calcium to fruit lower on the vine.

We can make more calcium available to the plant by adding bonemeal, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Tomatoes are fucking hard.
