The leaves on my tomatoes are going yellow and I know they need epsom salts, my question is  what concentration do you need to use?

Many thanks

I just put 2 tablespoons in my watering can, stir and water the plants

I thinks as a spray its 2 oz per gallon. I weighted that out at the weekend and 2oz filled about 4 tablespoons - so I put 1 tablespoon in a litre of spray - and that was at least twice what I needed for everything I could think of spraying!

Epsom salts almost certainly cheaper at the Garden centre than the Chemist, but given how little one uses it may be a bit irrelevant

Do you really need to bother? Perhaps the potatoes are simply at the end of their season and are telling you that it's time to start lifting.

Have a look at this recent thread.
