Re: Eggplant - (Japanese) Millionaire
Can you post the recipe on the Szechwan eggplant on the recipe thread, Turan? Also, how do you use the epsom salt/water? Ratio? How often?Turan wrote:I picked 1.25 pounds from 4 plants yesterday. Made Szechwan eggplant for dinner.
Some of the plants, especially the Orient Express are looking a bit scorched suddenly. A few yellow leaves and rolled leaves. I watered them with epsom salts and they seem happier again. I suspect they would like more compost mulching to sustain growth and production.

Re: Eggplant - (Japanese) Millionaire
I just posted a recipe of sorts, I hope you like it.
Epsom salts are usually used as a foliar spray at 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. I used it because I had a hunch that there was an imbalance affecting water movement and I know my soil is high in calcium and that often then makes the plants feel magnesium deficient. I did this once June and now. I have heard of people doing this regularly, but I do not know why. That doesn't mean you should use it.
I gather that eggplant is a heavy feeder. So, having just harvested a fair bunch I suspect it can use boost of some kind. I am uneasy about nitrogen rich like fish emulsion, because I want flowers and fruits, not a lot of leaves. But the plants are blooming heavily, so maybe a little nitrogen won't hurt.
I do not understand eggplant growing much, I am flailing around trying stuff.
