Product Information

Full details

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.

FAQs

What plants can I use TNP Epsom Salts Fertiliser on?

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.

How long does one application last?

A single application provides nutrients for 4-6 weeks, helping to keep your plants healthy and productive during that period.

Can I use this fertiliser on grass or lawns?

Yes, the product description mentions it can be used for grass, helping it to flourish and resulting in less acidic and healthy growth.

What is the best way to apply TNP Epsom Salts Fertiliser?

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.

Is this fertiliser safe for organic gardening?

Yes, TNP Epsom Salts Fertiliser is described as an organic feeding solution and an organic-based compound, making it safe for organic gardening practices.

What does it mean that it raises soil pH levels?

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.

How much area can a 5kg bucket cover?

A 1kg bag can treat up to 50m², so a 5kg bucket can treat up to 250m² assuming the same coverage rate.

Troubleshooting

Plants show signs of yellowing leaves (chlorosis)

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.

No visible improvement in plant growth

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.

Fertiliser seems to be burning plant leaves

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.

Soil pH is too high, making nutrients unavailable

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Application:

  1. For New Plantings: Sprinkle approximately 5-10g per square meter onto the soil and lightly fork or rake it in before planting. Alternatively, mix it into the soil where the plant will be placed.
  2. For Established Plants (Top Dressing): Apply approximately 5g per square meter around the base of the plant. Lightly rake or fork the fertilizer into the soil surface. Spreading by hand or using a spreader is effective.

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.
