Additional advice
- Before applying fertilizer, it is best to have your soil tested, as an excess of nutrients can cause more harm than good to the plant.
- Potted tomatoes are prone to nutritional deficiencies, such as magnesium and sulfur. Why ? This is because nutrients tend to leak out of the soil during watering. Hence the interest in using Epsom salt to compensate for this loss.
- As with any ingredient, it is important to make reasonable use of Epsom salt so as not to "force-feed" the plant and produce the opposite excess.
- Be aware that Epsom salt contains 10% magnesium and 13% sulfur, which makes it a very water soluble nutrient.
