Mix 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt directly into the soil when sowing seeds.

This boosts magnesium levels, encouraging quicker and healthier sprouting.

Strengthen Root Development:

At transplanting time, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt into each planting hole.

It supports strong, deep root systems for sturdier plants.

Prevent Blossom-End Rot:

Every two weeks, spray your plants with a solution of 1 tablespoon Epsom salt dissolved in 1 gallon of water.

This improves nutrient uptake, especially calcium, helping to prevent the dreaded blossom-end rot.

Boost Photosynthesis:

Water your plants once every 4 to 6 weeks using 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt per gallon of water.

Healthier, greener leaves result from better chlorophyll production.

Encourage More Flowers and Fruit:

During the flowering phase, foliar spray tomato leaves with a diluted Epsom salt solution.

This promotes a bigger blossom yield and improves fruit development.

Treat Leaf Curl and Yellowing:

If your tomato leaves are curling or turning yellow, spray them with a mix of 1 tablespoon Epsom salt per gallon of water.

Magnesium deficiency often causes these symptoms, and Epsom salt corrects it quickly.

Enhance Fruit Flavor:

Near harvest time, a final Epsom salt feeding can intensify your tomatoes' flavor and sweetness.

Apply 1 tablespoon per gallon of water to the base of plants once or twice before picking.

Revive Struggling Plants:

If your tomato plants seem sluggish or stressed, a foliar spray of Epsom salt can perk them up.

Mix and spray early in the morning for best absorption.
