    http://Esposn.notlong.com A bit of a scientific controlled report.

    >We might see better results when we apply Epsom salts directly to the leaves."

    >Foliar applications, such as those our test gardeners used, appear to be a better way to guarantee that the plants get the benefits of the added magnesium.

    >For Roses: Apply a foliar spray (1 tablespoon per gallon of water per foot of shrub height) after the leaves open in spring and again at flowering.

    >For Tomatoes and Peppers: Spray a solution of 1 tablespoon Epsom salts per gallon of water at transplanting, first flowering, and fruit set.
