Are you familiar with Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate?
It is an unknown product that has been used for hundreds of years.
Wondering what to do with Epsom salt?
Know that Epsom salt has many health benefits. But it is also very useful for the garden.
Today I wanted to show everyone the difference between a vegetable garden where I used Epsom salt...
...and another where I didn't use any.
In both cases, the plants were planted the same day. And no other product was used except water. Look at the difference:
Another example below:
If you're wondering what Epsom salt is used for, you have the answer!
Its properties for the cultivation of your vegetable garden are undeniable.
As you can see, Epsom salt is a truly amazing natural product for the vegetable garden.
It gives your plants a real boost.
Of course, plants without Epsom salt will still grow, but they won't be as vigorous.
And that's not all, magnesium sulfate has many other uses for the garden. Watch:
Green plants love a little cure of Epsom salt. For the dosage, mix a teaspoon of Epsom salt in 3 liters of water.
And water green plants with it every two to four weeks. It is also appreciated by orchids.
It is one of the best natural fertilizers for your garden. Sprinkle about one cup of Epsom salt per 10 m2 plot. Then, turn the soil before planting or sowing.
Apply a tablespoon directly to the tomato stalks every two weeks. Just put it around the plants. It also works great with bell peppers. Epsom salt promotes the absorption of natural calcium and nutrients.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of Epsom salt around the base of each rose every two weeks.
Evergreen trees like azaleas and rhododendrons love Epsom salt. Mix a tablespoon in the irrigation water for a plot of approximately 10 m2. Pour over the root zone every two to four weeks.
Yes, the lawn also loves Epsom salt. For your lawn to benefit from its benefits, apply 1.5 kg of Epsom salt to a plot of 25 m2. For a plot of 50 m2, apply 3 kg of Epsom salt. You will see how your lawn will become very green again. This treatment is best applied in the spring to have a beautiful lawn.
Apply two tablespoons to the root zone for a 9 m2 plot. Repeat this treatment every four months.
Like us, plants sometimes lack nutrients to thrive.
Epsom salt acts as natural vitamins. It will prevent the plant from being weak or its leaves yellowing.
And to grow big, healthy vegetables, sprinkle Epsom salt around the base of each plant.
What is Epsom salt? What is Epsom Salt? What is its composition? It's actually magnesium sulfate.
Plants need it for stronger roots and to facilitate chlorophyll uptake.

The above measurements are of course indicative. Results may vary from case to case and species to species.
Anyway, what I can say is that it has been working great for my garden for years!
