Yes, foliar spray of Epsom salts. I haven't done it yet, but know a farmer who swears by it for his peppers.

Beth,

 

Do you mean a foliar spray of Epson salts?

Have you had your soil tested? Many organic farmers think that there should be about 10 times as much calcium as magnesium, and that excess magnesium makes soil "hard". Foliar application seems to avoid this.
