Welcome to My World – Epsom Salts – Garden Uses

Hello World!   Today I’m sharing other uses for this great product. You can fertilize your lawn and garden with Epsom Salt!

Also, I’m following up on a previous post about Epsom Salt. I’ve been using it for a few weeks; I take Epsom salt baths 3 times per week (recommended times per week) and I believe it helps me with my back. Soaked in a tub with it last night and feel much better today. An added side benefit, & I don’t know why, is that it helps me sleep better. Anything that’ll do that is great in my book!

Directions for Fertilizing with Epsom Salt

This will help your plants grow bigger and stronger

Lawns:  apply 1/2 pound per 1,000 square feet of lawn.

Garden Plants & Shrubbery: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons around the base of each plant.

For use as a plant food supplement apply as follows:

Tomatoes, Roses: one teaspoon per foot plant height every 2 weeks.

Lawns: 3 pounds per 1250 square feet of your lawn.

Evergreen, Azaleas, Rhododendrons: per 9 sq.ft. (3’x3′) over the root zone

of yoyr plants every 2-4 weeks (note that these are acid loving plants so it’d probably work for bougainvillea as well. They flower more with an acid fertilizer.).

Trees: apply 2 tablespoons per 9 sq. ft. (3’x3′) over the root zone of your trees once every 4 months.

Garden Startup: sprinkle approx. one cup per 100 sq. ft. and mix into soil prior to your planting.

House Plants: Mix one teaspoon per gallon of water and feed your plants every 1-4 weeks.

*For faster results, water plants after applying this product.*

Just to reiterate my previous post, if you soak in a tub, pour 2 cups of Epsom Salts under warm running bath water; You should soak for at least 12 minutes and 20 minutes is even better. I usually make it to 15 minutes before I get out of the tub. You definitely relax this way 🙂 …

Using Epsom Salt as a Warm Compress

Dissolve one cup in one quart of warm water. Using a towel apply solution to your affected area for 15-30 minutes to reduce pain and swelling.

**If you’re pregnant or diabetic, consult your doctor prior to use.**

I am always amazed about what we can do with natural products. They have so many uses and they won’t harm us or the environment. I’m a fan! Do you use Epsom Salt? Let me know what you use it for.

Have a great day!
