According to what I've read sugar doesn't really feed the plant itself. It feeds the micro-organisms that live around the roots of the plant. It's these organisms that break down nutrients making it easier for the plant to absorb them.

Epsom Salts contain hydrated magnesium sulfate which are necessary for plant growth. Magnesium helps strengthen the plant's cell walls which aids in drawing up nutrients from the soil.

Since neither of these items are harmful I'm going to try them in my garden this year - both vegetables and flowers and will report back any outstanding results!

Does anyone know about these two common substances and how they might work on the garden?

Best wishes, Linda

so I made my own using electrical conduit, spray paint, and some vintage drawer knobs.

Check out the tutorial!

lightweight items but, does anyone have ideas to hang large mirrors?

even paint...there's a bright blue bedroom (like the question box) and wall paper in the entry that does NOT go with our belongings. I may get approval to paint the blue room, but is there any way to temporarily adhere another wall covering over the existing wallpaper?
