Lack of Potassium
I did a test on my vegetable garden soil. The Potassium reading was
very low. What product do I add to the soil to increase Potassium?
Thanks, Steve

Related, what about Epsom salts? I was advised to apply Epsom salts to
veggies and did last year. The tomatoes were great! Magnesium
sulphate is the active chemical.
The other unusual addition was two kitchen matches next to each pepper
plant. I had the best peppers in 30+ years!

You didn't tell us what the rest of the readings is but I would put on
some 12-12-12. Not expensive and a good all round fertilizer.
