hey just wanted to give friendly advice since your video fails to give important information. epsom salt (magnesium) and calcium go hand in hand. Together they compete with potassium for nutrition. If you give too mich epsom salt it will cut off any intake for potassium thus turning leaves yellow and worst case scenario dies. I’ve followed your advice and almost killed my fig tree. you only need a little, it goes a long way, not no tablespoon for every fooot of growth

It's crazy that epsom salt when put into a tree will begin rotting the tree and yet somehow putting it around the base of the tree it's good for it? Crazy! Good info though in glad I saw this!

I only use a TINY amount (1/4 of a teaspoon) around the top of the soil and I don't wet it. The crystals dissolve over time. I also use seaweed fertilizer first. Then do the Epsoms the next day. Only once every few months. I grow rare indoor plants!

One of my cucumber plants leaves were looking light, light green compared to the one next to it. I gave it a tablespoon of Epsom salt and now it is a beautiful green. I also have put this around my tomato plants, zucchini and squash plants . In addition, I have a Schefflera that is in a pot and little over 6 feet tall and I put Epsom salt on it also to help with this 96° weather we have had for the last few days. I have been using Epsom salt for about 3-4 years now.

Thank you so much for these excellent tips. Have never used Epsom salts. Will use regularly now as I have many plants thet show signs of needing the magnesium.

From this channel, I have learned that chucking tea bags, banana peels, egg shells, and epsom salt into my garden, is a good thing.

Will definitely be trying this simple, inexpensive but purposeful lawn and garden hack!

Here in Cali, we use it in our indoor, organic "medicinal" gardens 😎

I used it on ferns that I dug up in the woods and they grew like crazy and extremely green. The ferns didn't look very good when we dug them up, but I saw a video about using it on Boston ferns bought from a nursery and they tripled in size following their directions. I don't know about the garden but willing to give it a try.

I started my garden late in the season and put in the starts right before a spate of 100+ degree weather. I thought my peppers weren't going to make it. They looked like they were going backward developmentally. I sprinkled a generous tablespoon of Epsom salts around the base of each of my pepper and tomato plants one evening, then watered it in. The next morning there was a tremendous difference! The plants were darker in color and, for the first time, I knew they were going to make it. Some now have peppers (or tomatoes) starting. I will sprinkle more epsom salts on them again soon!

I have been an ornamental gardener for 40 years and an orchid grower for 10 years and just in the last few years learned from older growers the benefit of adding epsom-salt to the soil or adding a pinch per gallon of fertilized water for my orchids makes a noticeable difference. It increases the amount of flowers and intensifies their color. It also increases the amount of fruiting on tomato plants if the temperature stays below 92 degrees. Tomato flowers will not set fruit above that temperature.

Thank you for the update

From my research into companion-planting, I have discovered that every variety of plant has a particular role to play. If a variety of weed is growing exceptionally well, it is because Nature is trying to improve the soil! If one identifies the role of a particular weed, one can put it out of a job by applying that particular element. African lovegrass is a massive problem in the nutrient-deficient soils of Western Australia, but by watering it with Epsom salts, I am eradicating if from my property while improving the soil for other plants. Other weeds are being killed by the application of other naturally occurring elements.
