I've heard they are good for magnesium deficiency. I've got some ratios (salt/water), but wanted to hear what some peeps here think is a good ratio.

level teaspoon per litre as epsoms could halt the uptake of nutrients if used too much, usually 1 application is enough,if needed!,

be very carefull using epsoms as could result in total loss of your crop

use sparingly & only if needed.

Thanks guys. That jives with what I've heard. We almost lost the Cheese to "over salting". Scary.
