Tomato meds: anyone try this?

[Smart Red]

1 tsp Epsom salt in 4 c warm water…spray on plant and then again 10 days later. Produces more fruit due to boost of magnesium… especially for tomatoes, peppers and roses.

I've never tried it as a foliar spray, but I do put epsom salts in the hole when I plant peppers.

I also have done that with tomatoes, they did wonderfully, if it was the Epson Salts, I'm not sure. but will try it with both the tomatoes and peppers this year. God willing.

All the dog poop that you have and the deer still come into your yard.

Besides nitrogen, everything else in chlorophyll with one exception, the plant can get from air and water. The exception is magnesium.

The quantity of magnesium is very small, however. There are several types of chlorophyll but this is how I understand it.

Realize that Epsom salts will raise pH if very much is used.
