Lime or Epsom salts
« on: June 08, 2011, 20:46 »
I've read that yellowing leaves on tom & chilli plants in  pots in the greenhouse, are likely the result of magnesium deficiency.

Which would be best, lime or Epsom salts?
thanks, Mash  :).

Given that lime is calcium carbonate and epsom salts is magnesium sulphate, I'm sure you can decide for yourself!  :tongue2:

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
