Default Epsom salts

Epsom salts sprayed on the leaves of plants being grown in soil lacking
magnesium will cause better blooming and bigger sweet potatoes when used on
them. My extension agent recommended not using it here because we
apparently have plenty of it in our soil.

When using it, desolve 1 to 2 tbsp in a gallon of water and spray the
leaves, or put one around the plant and water it into the roots.

on vegtable plants when they are blooming to increase the yield.
