Hi ! chehade. Your problem seems to be the soil. It is I think too acidic and sticky (not porous). What you need is some Lime and Sand to nutralise the acidity and to enable it to breathe respectively. Let me know whether this has been helpful.

My young eggplant seedling leaves are turning yellow and growth has been minimal in the last month since planting. There are no obvious bugs/ pests. They receive close to a full day of sun, and are planted next to beans. Any suggestions?

My trees are very healthy and produce many flowers but disappointingly no fruit seem to set. A patch of beans at close proximity thereto has cropped very well, (just as a comparison for you may also think as I did that possibly the lack of pollinators may be the cause).

My eggplant is healthy looking and flowering very well but fruit doesn't set. I tried to pollinate them but that didn't work either. Can you help please.

Hi Pru, Epsom salts is MgSO4(Magnisium sulphate). Mg is an important constituent in Chlorophyll, the green substance in leaves that is required for photosynthesis i.e. making food for the plant. One gram epsom salt in a litre of water sprayed early in the morning helps some plants to set fruit. Potash is K2SO4 and generally helps plant for flowering..

Hi John, sprinkle Epsom salts in a line 10cms long about 5 cms out from the trunk, the potassium will help flowers set fruit. Worked brilliantly for me last year.

Epsom salts is magnesium sulphate. Did you actually use this or potash (potassium sulphate)?

Sounds like you don't have enough bees to fertilise the fruit?
