Skip the Salt Comments By: Anon on 2004-10-24 Salt (plain table salt) is toxic to plants, and it can build up in the soil. Leave it out of this recipe, and then maybe try it.   Great Mix, love it. Comments By: joe b. on 2005-04-27 Ok, Epsom Salt is not toxic to the soil, people have used it for eyons to fertilize their roses. It is safe, just dont use Table or Sea salt.   Gardens? Comments By: Carla on 2006-06-08 What homemade fertilizer would be safe for a vegetable garden? Worried about amonia. TipKing says: The best fertilizer is making your own compost from kitchen scraps. Investing in a compost bin is well worth it.   fishfood Comments By: angel on 2007-06-28 fish food is good for all plants I use it on all my plant .. I get the big box at the pet store when its on sale...   Does it work for Bean plants? Comments By: Grace on 2010-01-21 I'm not sure If it works for all plants. I thought I'd ask before trying it. If it does can you please let me know? It is my first time growing a Bean plant inside from a seed so I don't want to kill it! Â
