I dissolve 3/8 of a tea spoon of Epsom salt in a pint of water and spray that on the tomato plants especially if I see the leafs getting a bit of yellowing on them.

Remember Dogginlad off here, well Jay loves his gardening, and we constantly swap both veg and border plants. It really makes the difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
