Do Epsom Salts Really Help Plants Grow Better?
Researchers have never been terribly impressed with the effects of Epsom

I'll be trying it as soon as the night time temp gets above 55F.

Fast acting magnesium supplement, use when fertilizers
don't include Mg -- such as Miracle grow all purpose.
Use 1 - 2 tsp per gallon.

Adding dolomite to soil before planting supplies
magnesium and calcium, in equal amounts,
both of which tomatoes need especially.
