Tomato Plants The horticultural world is full of tales of old wives and skeptical suggestions for magical remedies to cure any garden ailment. Sorting facts out of fiction can be a daunting task when there is so much conflicting information. This is not true anywhere other than Epsom salt and tomato plants . Epsom salt is the common name for a chemical compound called magnesium sulfate. It is widely recommended by gardeners for horticultural problems ranging from poor growth to pest control.

 Solutions for wet, shady sites As often happens, inspiration comes when you expect it. One day while going to work, I saw a man in a wooded area. I stopped and talked, and before I knew it, I hired Russ Walters to clear the woods for me. Russ began working in an area about 75 feet long and 20 feet wide at the bottom edge of our property. It was so overgrown with thorns, nettles, vines, squash cabbage, and weeds that you could not walk through it. To make matters worse (or so I thought), the soil was always wet. I used the area as a dumping ground for garden waste, leaves, and broken branches. To cover the confusion, I planted a screen of butterflies (Petasites japonicus) and a variety of grasses (Miscanthus Sinensis 'Variegatus'). Both of these plants are active growers and spread throughout the area in an abandoned state. If your property has a similar "problem" location, please visit the site with a new perspective.
