I've heard of eggplant growers using epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) to stimulate growth. Since tomatoes are also solanaceous, I would think that they could gain the same benefit. Have you tested for available soil Mg? I wonder if soil tests account for other factors affecting availability, such as pH and competing minerals.

Thank you. After spending most of a rainy morning on the computer, I have also so discovered that I may have a Magnesium Deficiency. My leaves: http://s587.photobucket.com/albums/ss315/jrslick/Diseases/?action="view¤t=EarlyBlight012.jpg One of the images I have found: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/PhotoPages/Impt_Diseases/Tomato/Tom_Magnesium.htm My ground has a high pH and is high in potassium and phosphorus. I read also that this combination can lead to a magnesium deficiency. Thanks for all the help --- On Tue, 6/2/09, sunnfarm AT netscape.com <sunnfarm AT netscape.com> wrote:
