If you're using fertilizer that is intended specifically for tomatoes, that will have enough calcium in it. I have never added lime to my containers. Calcium uptake can suffer in soil that is too acidic or too alkaline, so if working with a commercial pH-balanced mix, I would personally not add amendments that can significantly alter pH, such as lime. I've only had BER issues with one of my container varieties, which is a variety known for early BER problems even when grown in-ground. I've grown other relatively large-fruited varieties, like some of the Dwarf Project types, New Big Dwarf, etc. and never had BER issues in containers despite never adding lime. The biggest issues causing BER are 1) early fruits often have BER anyway, no matter what you do, and plants often just grow out of it 2) improper watering (both too soggy and too dry can cause BER) 3) lack of proper fertilization (too many people underfertilize, others use too much N, which can lead to big, quick-growing plants which then have problems catching up with transporting calcium to all parts of the plant) 4) varieties doomed to suffer BER, like Roma and many other elongated pastes Container-growing just exacerbates the above, as the container is a smaller growing environment which has little real wiggle room/buffer when it comes to temp, water, and nutrients, so stresses are magnified. The only other real difference is that, unlike growing in-ground where calcium deficiency in soil is very rare, a fertilizer including an easily utilized form calcium is key. A well-draining mix which I water frequently and fertilize frequently at low dilution works best for me (not talking about sub-irrigation containers, which are a separate deal and one with which I have little personal experience).

What a neat set of clear plates and they look so good on that pretty scarf. I have some old scarves I've saved will have to remember that they can be used on a table scape. Thanks for the idea. Luvs

Thank you all. I was not able to open nor use Firefox.Tried new tabs, etc. and only Malwarebytes would appear. I had to use IE to access online. However, I did follow their directions, not sure what I did but I did get it fixed. I found nothing unusual about the shortcuts. They had me find the shortcuts pinned to the taskbar and Start menu to look for extensions that went beyond where they should. Since I had no clue, I just deleted a few shortcuts from the task bar and left it at that. The next project they had me do was to look at the Search Engines. What I did find was it Yahoo, which I know we never use. So, following their directions got that out and changed Search back to Google.All these things were done through both Windows Explorer and hidden files. Could not use the usual Tools to change Search or home page. Well, after a restart, Firefox opened as usual. They had warned that I might have to backup bookmarks and reinstall shortcuts, but I didn't and all seems to be working. Honestly, this all took me hours as I didn't have a printer to copy the many steps so had to copy by hand. I never used Win 7 before and couldn't find so many things, so I had to do that first which took time. I got it working, all seems fine and I gave him back his laptop. I'm still not sure what went on as the only thing I saw as unusual was Yahoo as the Search Engine. Jane

I'm not familiar with the Scott product either, but if it is similar to the MiracleGro potting soil with " moisture control" you won't need to fertilize at least until your seedlings develop their second set of true leaves. Tomatoes seem to respond well to fertilizer, but too much nitrogen is one of those things that leads to damping off of seedlings, bacterial diseases and other woes later on.
