Foliar Feed
Does anyone know of a brand of garden plant food (for flowers and fruit) that I can spray on the leaves as well as watering on the roots ?
I ask because years ago there was a foliar feed product on the market called Filip which worked well as I recall.
Thanks

All epsom salts provide is magnesium - it's used to treat the deficiency.
If the OP wants a dilute general purpose feed, I would recommend Phostrogen diluted to the maker's recommendation.
Specifically as a foliar 'boost' some people swear by seaweed feeds like Maxicrop but they are very expensive to use.0 -
Thanks to you all for taking the time to reply, I'm off to browse Amazon now.
