I know some of my beans are suffering from magnesium deficiency, what I don't know is what to do about it. Can anyone help?

Epsom salts I think Chantal. Not sure about dilution rate but I doubt you can overdose.

Thanks Jenny, that's excellent news. I was dreading being told it was some horrible chemical that was needed. I'll get on to it tomorrow.

You're welcome.

Out of interest, can you tell us what the signs & symptoms were?

The leaves are going yellow, I'll take a photo today if I remember and post it on here.

I remembered! One tatty leaf with magnesium deficiency (I hope)

Hello Chantal
Classic signs of magnesium deficiency there!
Have you been feeding your beans? Sometimes this deficiency can be induced by using high potash feeds even though the soil contains adequate levels of magnesium.

Hi John

They were planted in a trench full of well rotted manure. That's all.
