I used to spray Miracle Grow on my grass years ago, and it also turned lush green. I was thinking that the Miracle Grow granules look like epsom salt with blue dye on it. It probably is .. they just added blue dye and are making money off of epsom salts. I'm gonna skip the blue dye, and just use the salt.

Just a warning, when i add Epsom salt to my apple tree, it had twice as many apples and i was so happy, until it broke into 3 pieces because of a windy weather. Now i just use it for my nut trees.
The Epsom salt caused that the tree had twice as many apples as normal, and they were bigger and more heavy. So the apples made like a wall against the wind and could not stand the pressure. It is a 60 years old apple tree and i never see this before i use Epsom salt.
I have bald spots in my pasture in Texas. I spread 50 pound bags of cattle salt on them. It raises the PH. I have glay soil where it will not grow. The clays PH is too low, or too acidic. If you live in Colorado the glay soil is about a 4.5 Ph where grass don't grow and sage brush does.. The city parks in Colorado just use salt to make the grass grow. Agg Lime will also raise the PH. If you use too much salt it kills the grass or plants, because the PH is too high. Over time rain will wash the salt from the soil, and lower the PH so grass will start growing again if you killed it.

Need to destroy tree stumps? Drill a hole in the stump and pour in Epsom salt. It stops new shooters from growing and the stump dries encouraging deterioration. I could not pull stumps out fearing damage to a fence and grinding expense are too high for that job. Tks!
@@loisvreeland7623 trumpet vine is not a tree stump. Don’t conflate the two. You said drill a hole in the tree stump and pour it in. I assure you, that will not kill it. The interior wood of trees is not living so any effect of epsom has no bearing on it. You would have to bury a couple gallons of epsoms all around the tree stump, into the soil, to have any effect on a tree stump. And even then, you have to prevent rain was soaking the soil to counter the effect of epsoms. Good luck with that.

Epsom Salt: Magnesium sulfate or magnesium sulphate (in English-speaking countries other than the US) is a chemical compound, a salt with the formula MgSO4, consisting of magnesium cations Mg2+ (20.19% by mass) and sulfate anions. . It is a white crystalline solid, soluble in water but not in ethanol. Don’t confuse this with sodium chloride.
It is a salt...just not the kind that kills your plants!😄 However, It can if you use too much...and lockout calcium. Use of MgSO4 should be in moderation.
rain water doesn't have the chemical's in it that treated city water has, like chlorine, floride, and the leaching of old rusty pipes, Plus all the other chemicals we don't know about
Rain contains small levels of deuterium. It acts as a natural disinfectant. It cleans the foliage. Also, If you use tap water, fill containers & let them evaporate the chlorine for a day. In other words, fill a container let sit for a day. Use it the next day & refill to prep for the following day.
you have to check your current ph level. Then adjust with lime to bring ph up, or acid to bring ph down. Depending on your plant preference. Strawberries & tomatoes like slightly acidic (6-6.5) I gather 6.5 - 7 to be a happy medium?
Thanks for the tip, My garden is the place plants come to die, I keep trying my family thinks it's so funny, I kill every plant & tree in weeks of of planting.
If you’re new to gardening, hang in there. Gardening is like any other sport, it takes practice. Unfortunately it is an expensive mistake sometimes so start small. The biggest mistakes people make when new to gardening is: 1. Are you putting plants in their correct location for their sun/shade requirements? 2. Are you digging a big enough hole to backfill in good soil and compost so the roots can expand and thrive? 3. Are you watering enough…or too much? Remember, even if a plant’s description says it’s “drought and heat tolerant “, it still needs good consistent watering the first growing season until it is well established (perennials and trees and shrubs need a solid season of good care until it’s established) 4, Are you purchasing plants that are correctly “zoned”? Be careful when shopping at big box stores, they often sell expensive, eye catching perennials, trees and shrubs that are not appropriate for the zone you are purchasing from. Often, the zone (cold hardiness) isn’t labelled on the plant but a good google search will tell you, it’s not going to survive the winter. Most quality garden centres and nurseries (that only sell plants) bring in products that are zoned specific to the area you are purchasing from. They aren’t sneaky, or at the very least, they’ll be labeled “not cold hardy” so u don’t expect it to survive the winter outdoors. Try not to buy or take on too much when you’re new and just start small. Baby steps are far cheaper when gardening and also not as disappointing if one or two small purchases fail. It’s supposed to be fun! I’m almost 60 and I’ve learned that gardening is like golf: every season is a crap shoot and challenge and yet one successful experiment can be sooo rewarding, you forget all the frustrations the following spring and you’re ready to take on another season like a warrior. …….keep at it and have fun! I have zero formal horticulture training and went in blind to this rewarding hobby 30 years ago. After many blunders, dead plants and wasted money, I won 2nd place in my city’s horticulture/landscaping contest (population: 1.5M). It’s really not rocket science, just takes practice, diligence, love and patience. And a good dose of humility lol. Cheers!

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Black walnut. Is there a black walnut tree nearby? They make a substance that is poisonous to many plants. Even the black walnut shells from a tree not in your own yard can cause issues. My neighbors have one in their back yard, so I have to grow the sensitive plants like tomatoes and peppers in containers.

Epsom salt is a mineral salt, not a saline salt (sodium chloride). It has different properties than sodium. Epsom salt does not attract deer; it consists of hydrated magnesium sulfate. Not yummy.
If you don't like the ideal of dish soap in your mouth use oil like olive oil sunflower oil you got to understand this dish soap is sinking into these plants and you're eating it go organic you live longer
I cannot believe that people are just catching onto this my brother and father has been using that shit for years on their tomato plants and peppers and they thrive with it Something about it it works they work for them I don’t know why it wouldn’t work for anybody else

Excess salt is. That’s why he said 1 cup per 100 sq ft and mixed well in the soil. Do you realize how much land that is? Pretty big area for 1 cup of salt.
I think 'sparingly' might be a key here. I've used it in the past in my vertical garden. Full strength mind you. Everything did continue to grow, but I may have retarded growth somewhat . But I won't give up yet. I'm going to try a little more again.
Magnesium sulphate does not build stronger cell walls. That is the job of silica. This stuff also only lasts until you water. You would need to reapply every single time you water the plants.
@@kenshinhimura9387 hmm how about aquaponics? Info I've gathered is sometimes there is a need to supplement with ES. But on another matter, I've been battling fruit flies. Started with AplWine vinagre potion & caught some. Then went to the sticky fly traps & caught a whole bunch more. But not all. I think I also tried soap & peroxide or maybe water. Moving right along, ES / soap & water foliage spray today.
@@andybilakshow260 Are you sure those are fruit flies and not whiteflies? Either way you can try the sprayer with water, neem oil, isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. about a tbsp of the soap oil, 1tsp of peroxide, big glug of alcohol (most call for 1 cup which is a ton) I just do a few glugs. put the water in your pump sprayer first then add the other stuff, shake it up and go to town on your plants. Spray every day or every 3 days, Your choice. I just sprayed my tomato plants today.
@@andybilakshow260 I wouldn't waste my time with aquaponics. You still have to feed the fish with a feed which costs money and they aren't going to produce enough waste to feed your plants and even if they did your plants would not be getting all the correct minerals they need. What I do is I use Master Blend tomato formula along with calcium nitrate and magnesium sulphate aka epsom salt. It grows the best veggies, cannabis whatever you want on the planet. Even the super expensive hydro store nutes such as Advanced Nutrients, Mills, botanicare etc etc can't compare to the results of Master blend and how cheap it is. I also add silica since they are in hydroponics.
@@hellosunshine9915 Test for Magnesium specifically. If your soil has sufficient magnesium then adding epsom salts will actually lock out the calcium in the soil making it unavailable to your plants

Epsom salt is not salt as you normally think of. It’s is Magnesium sulfate and not the same as table salt.

Most soils are short of mag.
This is a bad idea for the garden , I did this and now a lot of things won't grow. !
I think 'sparingly' might be a key here. I've used it in the past in my vertical garden. Full strength mind you. Everything did continue to grow, but I may have retarded growth somewhat . But I won't give up yet. I'm going to try a little more again.
Magnesium sulphate does not build stronger cell walls. That is the job of silica. This stuff also only lasts until you water. You would need to reapply every single time you water the plants.
It is already hydrated. Also, having it in the soil is very helpful, so who cares if it washes off.
@@doloresreynolds8145 you should care..... you need to use it every watering or it is pointless. Think of it like you would a hydroponic fertilizer.
@@kenshinhimura9387 hmm how about aquaponics? Info I've gathered is sometimes there is a need to supplement with ES.
But on another matter, I've been battling fruit flies. Started with AplWine vinagre potion & caught some. Then went to the sticky fly traps & caught a whole bunch more. But not all. I think I also tried soap & peroxide or maybe water. Moving right along, ES / soap & water foliage spray today.
@@andybilakshow260 Are you sure those are fruit flies and not whiteflies? Either way you can try the sprayer with water, neem oil, isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. about a tbsp of the soap oil, 1tsp of peroxide, big glug of alcohol (most call for 1 cup which is a ton) I just do a few glugs. put the water in your pump sprayer first then add the other stuff, shake it up and go to town on your plants. Spray every day or every 3 days, Your choice. I just sprayed my tomato plants today.
@@andybilakshow260 I wouldn't waste my time with aquaponics. You still have to feed the fish with a feed which costs money and they aren't going to produce enough waste to feed your plants and even if they did your plants would not be getting all the correct minerals they need. What I do is I use Master Blend tomato formula along with calcium nitrate and magnesium sulphate aka epsom salt. It grows the best veggies, cannabis whatever you want on the planet. Even the super expensive hydro store nutes such as Advanced Nutrients, Mills, botanicare etc etc can't compare to the results of Master blend and how cheap it is. I also add silica since they are in hydroponics.
can epsom salt kill weeds
How much is Epsom salt
5$ for big bag
About $1.50 per pound
It's not cheap anymore.
It’s relatively cheap in the pharmacy.
@@rosatanner2624 the only thing that's "cheap" today is quality. Oh and me too😁
So, basically, just chuck that stuff around!
Anyone 's brown lawn got green after twice a year of Epson salts?
I know it will fall on deaf ears, but adding epson salts will not do the things they claim. There is plenty of magnesium in healthy soils.
That’s the problem though. Many souls aren’t healthy at least in some areas
I would use it very sparingly, as it messes with the soil microbiology.
Could do a soil test . That would be the best .
@@hellosunshine9915 Test for Magnesium specifically. If your soil has sufficient magnesium then adding epsom salts will actually lock out the calcium in the soil making it unavailable to your plants
Are there plants where epsom salts should NOT be used?
oh gawd yes! dont use epsom salts on your BLUEBERRY PLANTS..i wont ever do it again!
Yes No maybe so ?? I've heard No No No?? Want to but scarred 😮 😢
Is it good for weed
the girl in the tub is meghan markle
All of those bunnies are domestic ones.
1:11 with a rototiller? Great way to bring up weed seeds buried deep in the soil. Wrong way to begin. 🙄
Harang sodium carbonate
What does sodium carbonate have to do with Epsom salts, which is hydrated magnesium sulfate? Does using one inhibit the uptake of the other?
