Powdered lime at the garden store is also beneficial to tomatoes to prevent blossom end rot. Mix in the soil when you plant, or at the very leaset sprinkle some of this powdered lime on top of the ground around the plant. And don't overwater. Like another poster said, the plant will let you know when it needs water.

I can usually stop blossom end rot in its tracks with garden lime and water. 5 gallon bucket, 4 - 6 cups of lime, 3-4 gallons of water.....stir lime up in water until water is milky looking, water plant with about 1 gallon of this. Wait 3 days. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of plain Epsom salt in 1 gallon of water, water plant with about 1 quart at a time with 2-3 days between watering.
Garden lime has both water soluble and slow release calcium in it. Dissolving it makes the water soluble readily available.
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, this aids plants with the uptake of nutrients.
