Salt Sundays: a monthly reminder to fertilise with magnesium
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for photosynthesis and also for our human bodies functions. So it's important to make sure our vegetables are getting enough to feed them and then us.

Lastly, I introduce you to Salt Sundays so you never have a magnesium deficiency again.
