Poor pollination or blossom end rot

[Nina Marinova]

Hi everyone, first time gardener here, I need help figuring out my zucchini problem. I'm posting pics.

Basically some fruits get soft and fall off. My soil is acidic so I added lime in the spring but I know it takes awhile.

Thinking of making a calcium spray buy wanted to see what everyone thinks. Not all the fruits are poor. Some look great.

I think it is a two part problem. Poor pollination and a lack of calcium uptake. I would apply Epsom salt. I don't think a spray would help

I think it's a one-part problem, poor pollination.
Time for a little "help" for zucchini family planning.

Take a male flower, the ones without a fruit behind them, strip the petals back and rodger the female flower with the pollen covered bit
