Epsom salt

Liquid Applications – Every two weeks mix 2 tablespoon in 9L of water and water the plants with the solution. 

Mixing with warm water can help dissolve the Epsom salt easier.

By following the above “recipe” many gardeners report excellent results and good sized, tasty fruit. Try It!

Note: Epsom salt is not a cure for blossom end rot which some people recommend to solve the problem. Calcium is usually associated with blossom-end rot and not a magnesium shortage.

Peppers

Growing peppers are much like tomatoes… they are traditionally magnesium deficient. Applying Epson Salt to them is very beneficial, to their growth, aids in germination, produce greater yields, improved beauty and strength of the peppers.

Epsom Salt is highly recommended by expert growers to be used on your vegetables but also in the landscape. It is fairly safe, inexpensive and the benefits of adding it to soil to improve plants is well worth the cost.

It has been used in gardens for hundreds of years as a “natural fertilizer”. When sprayed or diluted and used as a drench liquid it is much more quickly “available” for use by plants.

Fruit Trees – Producing fruit is a long process for a tree. Magnesium levels often drop during this “long season” where applications of Epson salt can be of great benefit.

Stronger plant growth, improved photosynthesis, fruit can taste better, look more attractive, be more nutritious and more weather and disease resistant. Apply 2 tablespoons per 9 square feet over the root zone 3 times per year.
