Epsom salts has long been used to feed roses because
it helps grow stronger stems, new growth and can even
improve the color. If your roses are new this year, start
with 2 teaspoons epsom salts in early spring mixed into
the soil a couple inches from the base of the plant. Older
roses can handle more-- about a 1/2 cup worked into the
soil four times per season. You can also use epsom salts
for your tomatoes. Mix 2 tablespoons in with a gallon of
water and water the plants about 2 months after they
have germinated. |
