DIY Miracle Grow Plant Fertilizer

1
gallon
Water
1
Tbsp
Epsom Salts
2
tsp
Ammonia
4
drops
Food Dye

Add all ingredients together and shake well before using.  

The epsom salts add magnesium.  The ammonia adds nitrogen.  Reduce or eliminate ammonia during periods of high heat or drought.

To add calcium and potassium to soil, top dress the soil with crushed egg shells and and a 1/4 inch dusting of wood ash then mix well into soil.

Magnesium aides in photosynthesis.  Nitrogen produces vegetative top growth.  Phosphorous aides nutrient absorption helping to produce flower buds, fruit, and root development, and potassium builds strong healthy plants, improves stress tolerance and drought resistance.
