Magnesium Boost for Hot Peppers

Hot peppers use more magnesium than most plants in the garden.  Because of this they require a extra magnesium fertilization from time to time.  Mix 3 tbs. of Epson Salts with about 4 cups of water.  Put into a spray bottle and thoroughly spray the soil and lightly spray the foliage of the pepper plants.

 Do this once a month, twice if a inefficiency is noticed.
