👩‍🔬 Epsom salts used to be the popular “put in the hole with your plant” fertilizer. The idea behind this is that Mg is deficient in soils.
In Saskatchewan, in a garden Mg is very unlikely to be deficient. It’s the 8th most abundant element in the world. With the earths crust holding 2%. However, abundance doesn’t always equal bioavailable.
Bioavailability is essentially whether or not something is “digestible”. Think of milk for example, there is lactose free milk and regular milk. For some humans lactose free milk is the only “digestible” form of milk.
What Decreases Magnesium Bioavailability:
- Soil pH
- Excessive levels of NPK
- Soil moisture (too high or too low)
- Stressed plants
Only way me can help a plant get Magnesium (which we know is used in chlorophyll production & oxidative stress protection) is via foliar feeding.
Foliar feeding is nutrients in a mist form that hit the leaves and not the roots.
Now…. Here is the interesting part. Only some nutrients can be uptake via this mechanism. And some plants are better than others when it comes to the job.
Uptake via stomata does happen… but it’s not the main mechanism. It is actually the leaves themselves. Problem is leaves have a cuticle and we need to power through that, which is why we use surfactants.
The pH of the spray helps because #osmosis in theory we know pH has an affect on pH. And plant biomass testing shows that pH of the foliar spray matters. This is also the reason why uptake is better with other nutrients outside of Magnesium. Having a broader spectrum foliar spray is helpful.
Soooooo… does epsom salt spray work? Sure. And I am happy supporting the use of it if it means keeping it out of the soil.
But remember- it’s not the most effective & this is why even “professional” & commercial foliar sprays are few and far between. I’ll link to an option in my stories.

It's a good diagnostic. But ya, usually fix the issue if it is the issue. As for sourcing, one can also look up Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate. Gecko grow has a 500g bag for $10 which would last a lifetime of foliar spray.

potash is called that because it was originally isolated from soaking wood ash in water, then straining off the ash and boiling away the water. Eventually ashy looking crystals form out of the water which is potash. It's "ash" that you get from boiling water in a pot. And it was used in tons of industries like glass making, cloth dying, and soap making since the bronze age. Then we discovered the same mineral can be found in the ground, so we used the same name for that too

I'm a big fan, and thank you for the science on magnesium and plant health. I would like to report on the related topic of taste. When I was living on Southern CA about 4 years ago, I planted tomato plants outside in a good size hole filled with garden soil. I applied some garden epsom salt, diluted in water, at the base of my tomato plants a few times during tomato production. I don't remember how much, but it was about a pint of water. The result was that the tomato flavor was markedly pronounced with an increase in salt flavor, which alone would enhance the flavor. But these were some of the best tomatoes I ever ate.

One more thing folar spraying should be done on the underside of the leaf plants perspire from the top of the leaf and breath from the bottom side of the leaf, the research states that the pores on the top of the leaf close up when touched or disturbed and can close to hold in moisture under harsh conditions and the underside pores can take in water because the pores stay open to breath in fresh air they don't really close because if or they did stay shut the plant would suffocate.

I use about half a teaspoon of epsom salt in approximately 4500 liters of water (4,5, IBC containers full of water) in my aquaponics system. And I apply it early Spring time. Or after a really heavy rain event. And I repeat it later in the season, maybe after 6 weeks or so. Preferable before any leaves from my plants turn yellow. But my system is not comparable to soil. It doesn't have a natural source of magnesium. In the past I had some mineral deficiencies in my system, and the leaves from the plants turned yellow starting with the veins. Now the plants are growing really well. I even have a laurel tree growing in my aquaponics system. It is about 2 meters high. I personally would recommend it for pond owners and aquaponics systems, but you really don't need much of it. It dissolves really easy in water. And a little salinity is also good for the fish. 👍

Wondering what the effect of sprayed epsom salts is on the soil. As far as I have it, it would disturb the soil life if applied directly to the soil. I live in a magnesium deficient region with sandy, aciduc soil. (I prefer to use a multi-mineral product that is good applied foliarly or directly. But an epsom salt spray would be great to go on the cheap.)

Not sure whether that makes a difference. I hesitate to try Sluggo because I read it harms earthworms and other beneficials. Thanks!

@teac117

Probably Ca++. It's a tiny part of the calcium available in milk, but still seems sizable. It'll stay in the leaf it enters, so unless you've got uptake issues already (like crinkly leaves, or tip burn in lettuce), it's also not going to do much. It won't affect blossom end rot as that's more of a transport issue during early formation of the fruit.

You're still the greatest! I don't know how to use these "Surfactants". if they are oils, they won't mix with water, I wouldn't want to clog the stomata with pure oils of Yucca or Coconut... So how do I use them? Should I wipe the waxy surface with these oils on a soft cloth before spraying with Epsom Salt? I'm afraid I just need more detail. I've also heard that surfactants should be used on waxy insects, like Meally bugs, so I'm curious how to use them.

To be honest that’s why the professional stuff is better for foliar. There is a lot more to foliar sprays than water, coconut oil and epsom salt
@teac117
@teac117 14 күн бұрын
The 'coco glucoside' is not an oil per se. It's an alcohol made from the coconut oil which is then combined with glucose. This enables it to form a micelle which you can think of as a giant buckyball that can hold 'something'. Normally, they're used as emulsifiers, to make insolvable things dissolve in water... but in this case, at low concentrations, it's mostly used to break the surface tension of water. Hrm... gardening blogs are bad at mistaking this and substituting the raw oils for said surfactants. Be wary of kitchen recipes. Partly our fault for using the term vegetable/crop oil concentrate. That's yes, mostly oil, but hidden in there is a nonionic surfactant. The oil part breaks down the cuticle as described in the video - not the surfactant. The surfactant is there just to reduce the surface tension, flattening the water droplet so that it has more surface in contact with the leaf. But surfactants themselves also have some cuticle interaction. Some classes are absorbed in and puff up the cuticle, allowing herbicides/molecules to pass through. Other classes increase the fluidity of wax. These are lower order effects, but do exist on their own. Edit: Ugh, I think I might have made things more confusing. Edit2: To be working as a foliar feeding spray however, just the surfactant property of flattening the water droplet is enough. The cuticle micro-pores are negatively charged, naturally drawing in ions of Ca, K, Mg, NH. 'Punching through' is a bit of an overkill.

​@@rdraffkorn3184 Surfactant "just" means something that helps with mixing, like oil and water don't mix but some dish soap helps (and the point that things that bead up can't get through the plants holes to feed it). Chemically it's like one side is more like water and one side more like oil. Many surfactants foam up (afaik, tho egg yolk in mayo doesn't look 'bubbly' so much as creamy). There are sugar/sugar alcahol surfactants, but I don't think molasses is one nor is C or worm poop but think of all the other impurities getting into breathing holes??

Yes, most of it is leached. It is immensely soluble. Your soil will only bind to a certain amount (CEC). Rest is sitting in water, which can be diluted and pushed down with the next rain. It'll also temporarily raise your EC while it waits for it, causing some potential dehydration or uptake issues, but luckily most people doing this are saved by said rain.

I've grown heaven facing peppers from a bag of whole sundried ones. NA food processing is probably 'cooked' as she said, but sundried is still viable.

But wouldn't an excess of magnesium sulfate in the soil lock out calcium ?

I've never understood how water on plants can burn them. Does water on your skin burn you when you're in the sun? Have you ever touched a puddle after it rains and the day starts heating up? It's actually cooler than the dry ground in the sun.

@@charliemagoo7943 I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. However, studies have found that the only type of leaf that can be burned is certain types of plants with waxy raised hairs covering the leaves. The hairs can hold the water droplets above the surface of the leaf which can cause the heat to be trapped on the leaf's surface. But the sun rays have to hit the water at certain angles for it to happen, as well as, needing the droplets to be big enough to not have the sun's heat simply evaporate it. Also, any wind can move the droplet or blow it off the leaf. It's why plant leaves don't burn every time it heats up after raining.

Years ago professional rose growers advised application of 1/2 cup of Epson's Salts / rose bush to increase blooming. ???

I didn’t really look at any flower wise but the banana paper I spoke about would lend credence to that. Just water and epsom can be absorbed don’t get me wrong just not as affectively.

Probably to tip the EC temporarily into generative (bloom) territory. We have that issue as well in cannabis and tomatoes, and it's carefully monitored and controlled. The other way to signal to the plant that 'you're gonna die -- procreate!' is water control, but epsom salt dump seems like the least offensive way TBH.

So you can plant a plant in a pot full magnesium sulphate, yer I'm a horticulturist from Australia, and I'm nearly at 100% the plant will die, I love your videos, but that information is wrong If a plant can OD on water it will definitely OD on MgSO4
