You guys who side dress their peppers with Epsom salt, how much do you use and how often?
1 tablespoos full in a circle around the plant, no epsons salts touching the plant but covering the area were there would be roots....every 2 weeks until fruiting, then once we start to pick, every time the day after we pick... my buddy who sells peppers to resturants sometimes gets 2 pickings from his plants in a week, but he then only puts down epsons salts 1 time in that week.... make sure when the fruit is set and you pick, you come back and water the epson salts in..John S said:You guys who side dress their peppers with Epsom salt, how much do you use and how often?
It helps the pepper plant Produce More and Bigger peppers, it has Magnesium sulfate in it that the plant uses to make bigger and more peppers!flocknocker said:OK, let me ask a stupid question here. The epsom salt helps fertilize the peppers?
