Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salt) – 50 Lbs

Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salt) – 50 Lbs is a hydrated salt with seven molecules of water, so caking or bridging should not be a significant problem.

Although magnesium and sulfur occur naturally in soil, they can be depleted by various conditions, including heavy agricultural use over time. But unlike most commercial fertilizers, which build up in the soil over time, Epsom Salt is not persistent so you can’t overuse it. Tests by the National Gardening Association confirm – roses fertilized with Epsom Salt grow bushier and produce more flowers, while the compound makes pepper plants grow larger than those treated with commercial fertilizer alone.
