TNP Epsom Salts Fertiliser is an organic feeding solution for a wide variety of plants, including fruit and vegetable trees, shrubs, flowers, and larger trees. Its key benefit is promoting healthy growth and fertile roots by providing essential nutrients and reducing soil acidity, leading to richer foliage, stronger root development, and improved crop taste. A potential caveat is the need for careful application rates to avoid over-fertilization.

It is suitable for a wide variety of plants including fruit and vegetable trees, shrubs, flowers, and larger trees. It's particularly effective for vegetables like tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.
A single application provides nutrients for 4-6 weeks, helping to keep your plants healthy and productive during that period.
Yes, the product description mentions it can be used for grass, helping it to flourish and resulting in less acidic and healthy growth.
You can sprinkle a small amount (5-10g per m²) on top of the soil and lightly fork it in, or mix it into the soil prior to planting. For top dressing, apply 5g per m² around plants and lightly rake in.
Yes, TNP Epsom Salts Fertiliser is described as an organic feeding solution and an organic-based compound, making it safe for organic gardening practices.
Raising soil pH means it makes the soil less acidic. Many plants prefer a slightly less acidic environment for optimal nutrient uptake and growth. This fertiliser helps achieve that balance.
A 1kg bag can treat up to 50m², so a 5kg bucket can treat up to 250m² assuming the same coverage rate.
This could indicate a magnesium deficiency, which the Epsom salts are designed to address. Ensure correct application rates are being followed. If symptoms persist, check soil pH as improper pH can hinder nutrient uptake.
Ensure the fertiliser is being applied correctly and at the recommended rates. Soil conditions, watering habits, and existing nutrient levels can also affect results. A single application lasts 4-6 weeks; repeat applications may be necessary.
This may be due to applying the product directly onto foliage or using excessively high concentrations. Always apply to the soil and lightly incorporate it. Reduce the application rate if this occurs.
TNP Epsom Salts Fertiliser is designed to raise soil pH slightly. If your soil is already alkaline, this product might exacerbate the issue. Test your soil pH and use the fertiliser cautiously, or consider alternative solutions for very alkaline soils.
Application:
Optimum Timing: The best time for application is typically in Autumn, before the first frost, to prepare plants for winter and encourage spring growth. However, it can be used throughout the growing season as needed.
Compatibility: This fertiliser is suitable for a wide variety of plants, including fruit & veg trees, shrubs, flowers, and larger trees. It is safe for use on vegetables such as tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption. Ensure children and pets do not access the product.
