While folk wisdom is often right but it lacks the mechanisms to be

Ah, the rational mind. What a wonder it is. Don't stop. Continue.

Interesting discussion, but no one has answered my questions does the
blossom set really work?????


Haven't you been following along?

What part of "Researchers have never been terribly impressed with the
effects of Epsom salts on plants. Gardeners are a different story and
the use of Epsom salts is a gardening tip passed down for generations.",
didn't you understand? Whether I have a good crop of tomatoes this year
or not, it will just be one data point. What the hell. It can't hurt.
Or if you don't like that cavalier attitude, then consider doing a Ph.D
thesis on the subject so that we don't get it wrong ;O)
