Use Epsom salts. A little scoop in the soil when planting tomatoes will do wonders. You can buy a large container at Wal-Mart.
Yes, Epsom salts are magnesium. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants go crazy if you add about 2 tablespoons to the soil and water it in. If your soil lacks magnesium, it probably also lacks other trace minerals. Adding Azomite (a rock dust mined from ancient deposits in Utah) will supply most of those minerals. If your local farm supply store doesn't carry it, you can buy it on Amazon.
Try used coffee grounds and leftover coffee or Epson salt.
Try using epsom salts.
Epsom salts will do the trick. Mix 1 Tbsp in the soil before planting or mix 1 Tbsp with a gallon of water to water the plant with after planting.
