epsom salt:: fertilize on the cheap

Epsom salt is a great fertilizer. It is very inexpensive and simple to use. And your plants will thank you.

Houseplants: 2 tablespoons per gallon of water; feed plants monthly.

Sage: Do not apply! This herb is one of the few plants that doesn't like Epsom Salt.

Garden Startup
Sprinkle approximately one cup per 100 square feet. (10’x10’) and mix into soil before planting.

For the General Garden: 1 cup per 100 sq ft. mixed into the soil before planting. This will help the germination of your plants, aids in the absorption of phosphorus and nitrogen (two very important fertilizer minerals).

Tomatoes
Apply one tablespoon per foot of height for each plant every two weeks.
