Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is a simple, natural way to nourish your plants—especially fruiting vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Magnesium is essential for photosynthesis, seed germination, and healthy fruit development. Sulfur helps with enzyme production and overall plant vitality.

Here are two proven ways to use Epsom salt in your garden:

1. As a Foliar Spray (Quick Boost)
✅ What You Need:

• 1 teaspoon Epsom salt
• 4 cups warm water
• Spray bottle

🔄 How to Use:
Mix well and spray the solution directly onto the leaves early in the morning. Repeat every 10–14 days during the growing season.

🌟 Benefits:

• Enhances green color and energy production (chlorophyll)
• Prevents yellowing leaves caused by magnesium deficiency
• Encourages more blooms and larger fruits

2. As a Soil Drench (Deep Root Feeding)
✅ What You Need:

• 1 tablespoon Epsom salt
• 1 gallon water

🔄 How to Use:
Water the base of each plant with this mix once every 3–4 weeks, especially after flowering begins.

🌟 Benefits:

• Promotes strong root development
• Improves fruit setting and reduces blossom-end rot in tomatoes

• • Helps cucumbers grow longer and more uniform

Why It Works for Tomatoes, Peppers & Cucumbers
These fruiting vegetables are heavy feeders. Epsom salt helps correct magnesium deficiency, which often appears as yellowing between veins of older leaves or poor fruit production.

💡 Pro tip: Don’t overdo it! Too much magnesium can interfere with calcium uptake. Use it as a supplement, not a main fertilizer.
