Yesterday I checked my greenhouse tomatoes and the leaves are showing signs of magnesium deficiency. I have some magnesium sulphate in the lottie shop, is that the correct thing to use? Also what ratio to water should I use as the bag of it doesn't bear that information? How do I administer it to the plants?
Thanks
Julie
Epsom salts is used at 1 tablespoon to a gallon or one tablespoon to every foot of plant

How do I apply it to the plants - water it in the pot or spray it on the leaves?
you can do either but i would apply it as normal watering once a week

Thanks, I'll do it this evening.

I've just been sprinkling a large pinch onto the compost of each plant and watering in, seems to work.
