I do want to add a caution about epson salts ... it is a
salt and, yes, depending upon your soil, it can be over applied. It's primary benefit is that it adds magnesium to the soil. If your soil already has high magnesium content, that can be counter productive. Also, if you are gardening in highly alkaline soils, adding any kind of salts should be done with caution. A soil test is indicted.
In my current garden, I agree, Epson Salts is very beneficial and I love it. When I was gardening in San Diego, it would have set the plants back. So, as usual, it depends ...
