TIPS FOR GROWING BETTER TASTING VEGGIES

Feed your veggies once per month with EPSOM SALT.  Epsom Salt, also called Magnesium Sulfate, is the core element of chlorophyll which is essential for proper Photosynthesis.  It helps lowering the soil’s ph.  Most plants, including vegetables, grow better at a neutral or slightly negative ph.  

Application: Dissolve one (1) to two (2) tablespoons of Epsom Salt in hot water (Epsom Salt dissolves faster in hot water) and mix it with one gallon of water.  Water plants thoroughly with this solution.If your plants show yellowing leaves, you might spray them with above mentioned solution until water runs off the leaves. Be sure to spray both sides of leaves.  Epsom Salt, Magnesium Sulfate, when applied as a foliar spray, will act faster than iron.  Iron is a common treatment for yellowing leaves.
