Hi, Folks!

Since everyone seems to want to talk about something, I thought I’d toss a question out here.

 

Saw in Nolte’s Produce Supply catalog the notation that “spray your melons with Epsom salts to make them sweeter.”

 

Never done this – I’ve added Epsom salts to the planting hole for peppers and tomatoes and seen a real improvement in fruiting, but hadn’t heard about this for melons.

 

Do people do this?  In the planting hole and/or foliar feeding when the melons are about ripe?

 

Discuss and thanks for your input!
