Trying to grow Roma's in pots

[zigs]

Nice looking plants Zigs. What variety are they?

Ta Chuck Tetters has been looking after them

Those are Romas, got some Manx Marvels and Pitenzas on the go too

We're feeding them with a seaweed based feed every tuesday

What is the proportion I should use for Epsom salt to water? Also, how would I know if I need to use any?

The trouble with plum tomatoes is that they are very susceptible to blossom end rot.
Blossom end rot is caused by a calcium deficiency in the plants.
Wild variations in soil moisture causes difficulty for plants to take up calcium.
Pots tend to vary wildly in their soil moisture, unless drip-watered constantly.
As such, Romas are difficult to grow in pots, especially if you live in a hot environment.
Even here in the UK, I'd be reluctant to grow Romas in pots.
It's not impossible, but difficult.
Add some pelleted composted chicken manure to your pots, it's something like 6% calcium. It'll help a bit.
