    Do a search on the matches/Epsom salt trick, have been doing it for about 30 yrs, it makes the plants extra strong and very dark green.

    I tried berrying fish remains but had skunks dig them up.
    That was the end of that. :-(

    You can just sprinkle some epsom salts around plant, after planting. rain will take it down into the ground. Tomatoes, peppers like it. We also put powdered milk around plants, for the calcium.

    Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, a mineral that plants like a lot. I imagine the sulfur from the matches help?? I think that helps plants up take nitrogen. The powdered milk is a good idea for the calcium. I saw somewhere, some people put a Tums under each plant. Last yr I started getting blossom end rot on green tomatoes. I put a double had full of pelleted lime around each plant. They went to blooming and producing. I also epsom salted them too. I have a friend who throws his fish in his garden and has been doing it for years.

    Dig it deep with post hole diggers. Raccoons dig them up here if you don't. Now I live on and old phosphate pit so the gators and turtles take care of them now.

    Best tomatoes I ever raised came from putting a crappie skeleton under each plant.

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
