Why Use

Use as a granular feed or dissolve in water and apply to foliage. Suitable for feeding a variety of vegetables such as tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, plus trees, shrubs and flowers.

Epsom Salts has very high magnesium content. This nutrient is vital to the healthy growth and development of all plants. Epsom Salts provides a solution to leaf yellowing caused by lack of magnesium, especially in vulnerable plants such as tomatoes.

 

When to Use

  • Apply every 4-6 weeks during the growing season from March to the end of August
  • Granules should be worked into the soil, or dissolved in water
  • During dry weather, water thoroughly before and after granules are applied

How to use

One handful of Epsom Salts is about 35g (1¼ oz).

You can apply Epsom Salts every 4-6 weeks.

Do not apply in bright, sunny conditions to avoid scorch

Trees and Shrubs

Apply 20g/sq.m (¾ oz/sq.yd) around the base of established plants. Gently fork into the soil surface without disturbing the roots and water in thoroughly. Alternatively, dissolve 35g (1¼ oz) in 4.5 litres (1 gallon) of water and apply directly to foliage with a fine spray. Do not apply in bright, sunny conditions, or when plants are dry at the roots, to avoid the risk of scorch.

Flowers and Vegetables

Apply 20g/sq.m (¾ oz per sq. yd) on the soil surface and fork in. Take care that the granules do not touch the plant leaves or stems. Water in well after application.

Soil Conditioning

Apply 20g/sq.m (¾ oz/sq.yd) as a top dressing and work well into the soil.
