How to Use Epsom Salt in the Garden: Recipe, Routine, Application & Benefits - Don't Over Use It!

THANK YOU!!!!

One table spoon per gallon water

By gallon you mean 3.8 litres or 4.5? Please clarify.

Thank you Gary for that. How about for plants with yellowing leaves? I noticed that happening with one of my turmeric plants and I have it a foliar feed only, 2 times. The leaves are turning greener now but still not 100%. Should I wait before giving it another feed?

This stuff is potent and works! You can visibly see a difference the next day! I had a hail storm shred my plants to the stem. I was panicking because I lost everything. I pruned everything damaged off. I watered and let them heal for a day. Then I used Epsom salt to bring back the foliage. Two weeks later and it completely transformed my garden. Unreal how you can visibly see a difference the next day when used properly. 1 tbsp per gallon. Super easy. Thanks Gary.

Can I use Epson salt with blueberries & persimmon trees? anyhow nice vid. Thanks

Great video, thank you for sharing

How Long do i need to wait to see results?

You're instructions are the best!

I have been just sprinkling Epson salt on the the soil. I am hurting my plants like that instead of helping?

Can I add epson salt and worm tea for watering or foliage spray?

Here’s maybe a weird question. I have some liquid chlorophyll that we aren’t going to use. Do you think there’s a way to use it on our plants?

My organic chemistry was screaming when you said these minerals are organic. There’s no carbon in them so they’re not organic. Check out the periodic table.

Hello from South California. Thanks for information. But how many times are you using Epsom salt for tomatoes, per season(monthly/weekly....)???

Good morning. I enjoy your videos very much, very helpful. I have a question. What fish emotions do you use. I see there are different one’s. Have a great day and thanks.

Is this as well as giving plants fertilizer?

Get more bang for your buck by soaking your feet in the solution for 20 minutes before dumping it on your plants.

Thank you 😊

Gary, what is your watering schedule you use on your garden? How much per bed / per plant a week?

Thank you!

Thank you Gary. Showing the amount to put on the plants (counting) was very helpful.

Yay, Gary used the word pick instead of harvest! 😊

Interesting

Gary, what do you use to keep Japanese Beetles at bay? Neem oil does not seem to work :-(

How is organic salt that occurs naturally mined and synthetic salt the same?? I thought this was an gardening educational channel?

Awesome! I was just wondering if epsom salt could be applied as a foliar feed. Thanks for clearing that up!

Could I apply these in the evening as the sun is going down instead of early morning?

Gary, is that pepper or tomato?

Can i use epsom salt for peppers?

Can you use all liquid fertilizer, etc., as a foliar application? Thanks!

Awesome video! I think I’ll give my tomatoes a feeding tomorrow morning. Quick question I’m building 4 no dig raised beds for my fall garden. They will be about 10 inches high, is that be deep enough for tomatoes root? I can’t dig into my ground soil and I don’t want to build a higher bed if I don’t need to. Thanks in advance

One video I watched said Epsom Salt will cause Blossom End Rot. Because of the over use of the Magnesium.

I really love and appreciate your videos and all the information. Thank you again and again!

Thanks for the video. My tomato, okra, cucumber are still small. Can I use it or wait for them to flower/produce? Thank you

The greatest gardener I know! Thx Gary for guidance. I really need this information on the cucumber plants. Something is eating away on the leaves. Ouch! Yours look very healthy!

Gary, any suggestions for pests on basil. Little holes all over my precious basil this morning.

Okay for Neen oil mix be or something else?

Excellent Video! I was standing with my plants in a rain storm yesterday asking myself the question: When is it ok to water above and when is it not ok to water the leaves? (Seedings - fruit bearing plants) Gary is there a guideline or rule about that?

You mentioned you could mix with fish emulsion- can you mix with your general water soluble fertilizer? I use Miracle Gro for vegetables weekly.
Also would love to see a video on your weekly routine. It is overwhelming knowing when to do what just for preventative purposes.
Have learned a lot from your videos!

Good timing! Today is feeding day in my garden.
Since the organic granular fertilizer I use has some Epsom Salts, I just foliar spray once per season.

I use epson salt on my hemp plants great mag supplement :) if your growing anything in COCO its definitely needed :) i just top feed it under each plant throw some under base.

Right on time... I just thinking about applying Epsom salt on my plants... 😁

Btw can i mix Urea (nitrogen - synthetic fertiliser) and epsom salt as foiler spray???

Yes but is that because OVERUSE can interfere with the plant's CALCIUM uptake when those minerals are not needed? And when you plant 'directly' into the ground should you add EPSOM SALTS at all in the event that you've not actually TESTED your ground for the NATURAL presence of the minerals in your soil that these salts provide?

Very helpful video! Thank you.

You use a soluble able fertilizer that is high leaching only one time.
You need to do your homework again

Thank you for your great teaching video! I enjoy your channel very much. I am a new gardener and am learning a so much. Thank you!

i like two use epson salt right on top of the soil i go a teaspoon a plant then i scratch the epson into the soil.then blood meal same...

Awesome! Thanks.

Thank you!

Wow, how timely. Earlier I was going to research how and where to use epson salt. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I fed my cucumbers the other day with the ES and today I’ll do the tomatoes.
