I believe people who started inside under lights started theirs in Feb or march the latest. You would be better off planting most of your veg's directly into the soil now. You will most probably have to buy tomatoe plants at the nursery. You don't say where you are, what zone? joyce _________________________ Love what you do, do what you Love!

It is supposed to encourgage fruit formation. Does anyone know.....do you just do this once in the beginning or every 2-3 weeks as more blooms appear?

However I supposed that all depends on how often and how much you water. I will do some research and see what I can find out.

It's amazing what simple searches will do for you! You were correct about the 2-3 week rule. It applies to epsom salt method as well. There are people who use this on every type plant in their yard. The forum I found was very helpful and very informational as well. Most prefer a method of dissolving the salt in water and then doing the application but there were people who have used the straight salt sprinkled around the root of the plants and then watering well. The information said that the salt doesnt effect the pH of the soil either, so in that case I was wrong as I often am. I hope this has helped and I am not getting to you a day late and a dollar short.
