Epsom Salts

Say goodbye to slugs!

Sprinkle Epsom Salts in or around gardens and other areas you don’t want slugs invading to keep them away.

Beautiful roses*

Sprinkle a tablespoon of Epsom Salts around a rose bush and water for faster growth. Can be done once every two weeks.

Garden soil preparation*

Magnesium sulphate in the soil helps to improve plant growth. It can be added during the growing season, but for the best results mix it into the soil too.
What to do: Sprinkle one cup of Epsom Salt per 100 square feet on the soil.

Grow better vegetables!*

Add 1 tablespoon per plant a couple times during the year and it helps plant growth, especially tomatoes.
What to do: Sprinkle a tablespoon of Epsom Salts around the base of a plant after it has grown to at least 12 inches tall.

Healthy house plants

Just like garden plants, house plants love a magnesium boost once in a while. Sprinkle a little Epsom Salts on the soil in a house plant container or add a little Epsom Salts to the water when watering. A tablespoon is usually plenty for a month or two.

*Consult your local garden centre or test your soil to ensure this product is right for your garden.

Beautiful crystals

In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of Epsom Salts with ½ cup of hot water. After mixing it well, add one or two drops of food colouring to the mixture and stir thoroughly. Place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight and the next morning, the beautifully coloured  crystals will be ready.

Holiday Craft- Decorating jar

Decorate any jar or box with Epsom Salts. Using glue, create a design on the jar and then pour some Epsom Salts on it. Carefully remove any extra glue and let it dry overnight.
The next day, the jar will be ready for  painting. Apply two coats of glossy acrylic paint and let it dry overnight. In the morning your beautiful jar is ready for use.
