Egg shells as plant food

Yellowing can by a symptom of zinc deficiency, especially with citrus and gardenias. Yellowing can also be a symptom of soil that is too alkaline or of over-watering. Finally, yellowing can be a sign that a nearby underground natural gas line is leaking.

Magnesium promots the growth of new shoots. That is why I give each of my roses about 2 tablespoonsful of Epsom salts in the late winter.

Put a big enough engine on it, no problem.

Very incorrect statement.

No,Not in my soil or many of the myriad clay compositions.

You obviously do not understand soil science and as I said you are using false analogies. Again I said airplane and cars have wheels, but can a car fly?

You coyly reply > "Put a big enough engine on it, no problem."

But old son, you would be hard pressed to find the horsepower necessary to make your overreaching BS fly:

Patently false and I think you know that, or at least you should know as much, when dispensing "gardening advice."

Again, so patently false. =A0While it may not affect some and even benefit some others, it is no panacea. =A0And yes you can overdo dolomite. In fact,this mythology=A0can be quite =A0detrimental to many. =A0So to say "... A spoonful of Epsom ...is recommend when planting ...." Is 100% USDA Prime =A0BS.

Even a quick search yields this refutation:

normally use dolomitic lime on sandy soils. Sandy soils don't have any way to hold magnesium or calcium. Both are needed for plant growth and should be added regularly. The only way to tell which lime you need to use on clay soils is with a soil test. Clay soils with high magnesium levels perform poorly. They will develop more cracks and have a tighter structure. These soils don't need additional magnesium. Look for the magnesium base saturation (Mg BS) percentage on a soil test. The ideal Mg BS is 10%. Clay soils with Mg BS over 20% should get calcitic lime. ...
