My tomatoes are horrible this year. I want to apply Epsom salt around the plants. is it too late in the season and the only kind I have had eucalyptus in it? Can I use it or do I have to buy plain? Thanks.

I would go ahead and use it. It may help. I do know that all around me, (and I have spoken to some farmers, not just backyard gardeners like myself), our tomato season is behind a bit. Yours may be too, so the Epsom salt could benefit even though it seems late. If they don't need the salt, they won't absorb it anyway. As for the Eucalyptus, I am not sure about that. Maybe get some plain...

Also, if in doubt, you can always call your local Extension service. They have Master Gardeners that can help you with what is going on in your particular area.

Good luck!
