From: Yeah Mike,
I use Epson salts in a foliar spray on
pumpkins and tomatoes...stops em going yellow...its the high salts in the
soil that cause the yellowing as the plant cannot take up the right
nutrients, with a high salt content in the soil the magnesium becomes
locked in and putting more fert on just makes it worse. Its a vicious circle
Alun

Epsom is Mag sulfate I have high sulfur and high salts.............the real
problem is most these fertilizers don't mention there sodium salts
level.....
