so ive been trying to diagnose my plant problem and have it down to calcium deficiency which i am pretty sure of,
i read somewhere that i can boil up some crushed eggshells then strain and use that water when cooled to water my plants and that will give them sufficient calcium.
does anyone know of any other way i could sort this?
ive been out looking for dolomite in a few places but doesnt seem readily available anywhere and im from england and we dont have walmart or homedepot b4 someone says try there.
is there anything else i could use my micro nutes dont have it in.

thanks in advance, any help would be great!!!
+rep for any ingenius sugestions

Tums antacid tablets. They have a good amount of calcium and I have used them to treat blossom end rot in tomatoes which is a calcium deficiency. If they don't have Tums where you are do you have a grow shop? I recommend getting some cal-mag plus. It's made by Botanicare and is an excellent product.
