What about cracks?

Chic Concrete
We can fill and close cracks in the concrete; however we cannot guarantee that they won’t return. Cracks in concrete are a given, many contractors say that there are two types of concrete “cracked and about to crack”. Normally this should be limited to hairline cracking with minimal separation as all structural concrete is reinforced internally.

Why do my tomatoes develop cracks in their skin?

If Plants Could Talk:FAQ
This is also due to an uneven watering schedule. Try to keep the soil from drying out by watering regularly (be sure to water in the morning). A good idea would be to give plants one deep watering per week for most soil types; two waterings for sandy soils. You should also mulch the plants to help retain moisture. When choosing seeds or starter plants look for varieties that are labeled as crack resistant.
