Your tomatoes are suffering from Blossom End Rot. Primary cause is a lack of calcium in your soil. Check with your local gardening store or google Blossom End Rot. You can also start adding your egg shells to your soil, or mix them with water for your watering routine.

That is blossom end rot, and I do not know of any 'natural' treatments for it, but there are products at Walmart, and home/garden centers, and farm supply stores to treat it. Best of luck to you!

I think it's a virus. Next year, use a different type tomato, plant in a different area, and don't put the diseased plants in your compost pile.
Not all my tomatoes have black on the bottom, but enough to be concerned. What do you think the problem is? Should I just pick the ones that have the black on the bottom or let them grow out as they get bigger? Thank you.

I've had those nasty spots on All my larger tomatoes in the past;last year & the year before-but not on my cherries! And they were in the same plot! I will definitely put eggshells in from now on. I've been putting them into most of my garden beds for my other veggies.My Tomatoes are in 2 Topsy-Turvy's this year-store bought plants. But I planted some tomato seeds in a large container & used good soil in all of the containers.Don't forget to plant Merigolds in w/your tomatoes-they help keep bad bugs out! Thanks for the Great tips.And Good Luck to us all! : )
The leaves on my tomato plants are turning yellow and dying and some of the tomatoes are black on the bottom. However, new leaves are growing up the side of our house. What can I do to stop the yellow leaves and black on the bottom of the tomatoes?
