You're over-watering them.

Answer 3

Sclerotinia stem rot (timber rot)

The control of this disease, as with many soil-borne diseases, requires a continuous good management program all year.

The disease is caused by the fungus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

consult a agronomist so he can guide you better how to control.

Answer 4

I just checked my "Gardening Made Easy" books and they say "Blossom end rot turns the bottom of fruits brown and leathery. It is a common problem, caused by calcium deficiency and moisture fluctuation. Water regularly and apply calcium". I refer to these books often and they haven't let me down yet. The pot you use should be at least 12 inches across and 12 inches deep. If yours is smaller you should transplant ASAP. Remove any diseased tomatoes that are on the vine now and start from the beginning. Good luck.

Answer 5

Ned to be spray. you have Snell's or other bugs in the soil. pout a lilt beer in the flat cover and they will go for it ,and they get drowned you will see them the next day

Answer 6

Blossom end rot.  Due to calcium deficiency and allowing the soil to get too dry between waterings.  At this point the plants need constantly moist, not wet, soil.  Check that your tomato fertilizer has calcium and pay better attention to the watering.  Could be the soil has shrunk along the edges and water is running between the roots and pot.
