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!
You should try relaxing in an Epsom salt bath. I’m a believer now!
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.
Fertilize tomatoes with Epsom Salt.
Lawns: 3 pounds per 1250 square feet of your lawn.
Evergreen, Azaleas, Rhododendrons: per 9 sq.ft. (3’x3′) over the root zone
azaleas can be fertilized with Epsom salt
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.
You can also fertilize house plants with Epsom Salt.
*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!
