Experience Homeowner with gardens indoors and outdoors, lawns back and forth. I wrote my first gardening column for our college newspaper, teaching roomates about the right way to feed those windowsills gardens. Today I look for challenges. Organic Fertilizers are the key to proper feeding of all our plants. Can you make your own fertilizer? Some people think so -- but there are side effects. I have been there, done that for 54 years and there is nothing like the voice of experience when it comes to Horticulture and Fertilizers.
Publications Numerous and sundry but only in college did I write about plants.
Education/Credentials B.A., Botany and Mass Communications.
Question I would like to know that how much plant wheat cultivars need Mg and how much we sould apply of MgSO4,7H2O in the field?
Answer Depends on your Soil test, Ebi. You probably have PLENTY of Mg in your Soil. Unless you're using it up at a furious rate. If your pH is too high, you could be growing it in pure Magnesium and all your crops would exhibit Magnesium deficiency symptoms. Where are you, and EXACTLY what does your garden grow?
