We have to ask ourselves, which pants will Epsom Salts improve and what else can it do. Probably too many things to count but here are some!

1) Peppers need magnesium to grow large and to produce greater quantities.

2) Roses benefit from an extra dose of minerals that Epsom salts provide. Veteran rose growers champion the benefits of Epsom salts which make roses more vibrant, colorful, and stronger. Magnesium is an important player here, but so are the sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus levels that Epsom salts will increase.

3) Epsom salts also yield great results when planting your lawn and grass. The extra nutritional boost help seeds to develop and the grass will end up greener, fuller, and healthier with this extra supplement. This healthy grass will also be more resistant to harmful factors in their environment.

4) Palm trees can gain from Epsom salts. If you’ve seen a sad looking palm tree, you know that the top leaves can often become “dry” looking and frizzly. A mixture of Epsom salt and water can reinvigorate these leaves and keep the frizz away, leaving your palm tree looking sleek and healthy.

5) Tree stump removal can be made easier with Epsom salt. This compound absorbs water out of the wood of a tree stump. Drill a few holes in the stump and fill with epsom salt. This will dry out the wood and make it easier to remove.

6) Slimy slugs hate Epsom salt. Just sprinkle a bit wherever your problem is, and you can be sure you’ve eradicated this infestation with a non-toxic, all-natural solution.

7) If you’re tired of getting on your hands and knees to pull out all the weeds in your yard, epsom salt could be your new best friend. Mix two cups of epsom salt with a gallon of vinegar. Then add a dash of liquid dish soap and put into a spray bottle. Next, instead of picking and pulling your weeds, spray them with this solution. You will want to avoid flowers and other plants, but overall, this solution will not damage anything other than the weeds.

8) If you have a tricky splinter in your skin after a long day in the garden, you are not alone. This is a common and annoying occurrence and often means that you’ll be fishing it out with tweezers for half the night. Epsom salts, however, can also aid in this problem. Simply soak the area of the splinter in a few teaspoons of epsom salt and a cup of water. After awhile and without any digging or tweezing, your splinter will come out on its own.

What is lovely, for those who enjoy and truly organic garden, Epsom Salts are an all-natural solution to so many problems. This nonhazardous compound will aid the gardener, allowing him or her to stop the use of dangerous chemical fertilizers and weed killers!
