I use Epsom salt to green plants up it's not sodium chloride so it doesn't have the same affect on plants I got the tip for using it on peppers from an old TV show called Crockett's Victory Garden over 20 years ago.The point for listing it was that Pandora mentioned it foe soaking and I wanted to point out that it has more than one use.
I'm luck enough the have a fertilizer manufacture down here about 25 minute drive so I buy everything for the yard there(I'm known as Johnnies Lawn service) I pay about 13.00 for a 10K sq.Foot bag of lawn stuff and 18 dollars for weed and feed.
At home depot weed and feed is about 38 dollars for the same size bag. All my friends buy there and the last time I went I had 1500 pound of all manner of lawn and tree stuff on the truck for the inner circle of friends.
BTW that's a good size Generator you gut there it should serve you well.
The company I buy from is called Helena chemical.

I'm looking at getting a solar powered charger. Do you know anything about those? I've read a bit and most people say you need a current regulator too. I figure with that and a bunch of rechargeable batteries, you could keep basics like flashlights and radios operating indefinitely.
Or you can check into one that works off your cigarette lighter in the car.

The gen specs should read 5500, but I guess you figgered' that from the peak output. It should suffice.
I remember that old show, actually, but wasn't in the frame of mind to sit and watch it back then.
Thanks for the tip.

That's a good size for the greater part of the public out there. I doubt you will need anything bigger unless you're running stoves and hot water off electric.
BTW I added corn meal(polenta) to the must have list I forgot how far that stuff goes.

Anybody mention hydrogen peroxide? Good general disinfectant, can use it to clean bacteria off veggies, wipe down surfaces, highlight your long flowing hair...
