TA>Don't know about peppers; but Epson Salts (magnesium sulfate) has been

  1 cup? A whole cup, Ack? I use a teaspoon per quart and spray it on
  when the seedlings blossom -if I bother at all.
TA>Some lay it to the trace of magnesium and others the sulfate added to

  Dick Raymond claims it's the extra magnesium that ensures the blossoms
  set and produce fruit, rather than fall off. (And I think the weather
  has an awful lot to do with that as well. :-))
