Uneven watering will do it.
If you let the soil get to dry then give it a bunch of water.

Dan is correct. Uneven watering is the main cause.

I work into the soil around the base of the plant garden gypsum which is in the form of a slow release granular.

Garden gypsum is an excellent source of calcium. This should work for you.

That is what i was thinking too. the plants seems to be healthy and the ground seem to dry out quicker than usual. I like the idea of adding gypsum.

I would suggest Dunkels tomato turbo. Dunkels contains a chelated calcium that will get into your fruit. It will not do much for the fruits that have it but will help stop it on the next batch. In the mean time keep the water constant.
