I would leave off the Epsom salt if doing this at this time, but certainly all of it in the spring. Jo Ann Ostrander

Tom Ethridge’s Recipe for Alfalfa Tea

Tom has concluded after thirty-five years of growing roses that the best basals are those that our plants produce during or immediately after the first bloom cycle. He recommends that we can help our bushes at this time by serving them a good portion of Alfalfa Tea. His recipe for this is as follows:
50 gallons of water
12.5 lbs. alfalfa meal
Cover and allow to steep 3-5 days, stirring daily.
Just before serving add:
5 cups fish emulsion (or Neptune’s Organic Fish & Seaweed)
3 cups water soluble fertilizer (. Miracle Gro 15-30-15 or 20-20-20)
12 cups Epson Salt

Mix thoroughly before serving.
Serve approximately 1 gallon of tea to each large plant and about 1/3 gallon of tea per miniature bush.
