I bought a small bag at Agway my local feed and seed.
If I remember right I mixed 1 tablespoon in a gal. of water and watered it in.
You don't want to use too much or too often though. I think I used it 2 or 3 times at two week intervals. The curled leaves will stay curled but in a couple of weeks all new growth should be normal.
I also had the problem outside so last year I sprinkled a little gypsum in each planting hole and had beautiful leaves all summer.
Some of my seedlings were affected badly by the deficiency before I found out what the problem was. The new growth was stunted and distorted.
