Blossom End Rot (BER)

You know by now my Honeymoon tomatoes were afflicted by BER.  Looking online it seems its a physiological problem where the plant cannot take in sifficient calcium probably due to erratic watering.

Here's the question, probably for TMTT.  I'm on alkaline soil but not chalky, more flinty.  Would it be any use to incorporate some calcium carbonate into the soil or when watering? Or is it just a question of monitoring the water more carefully?
