Won't Epsom salt kill plants just like any other salt? Why?
+5
Well, I've always used salt as a weed killer in my yard. In fact, it's been my personal experiences that it's more like a "kill anything green" effect on plants so I'm more than a bit sceptical about just throwing around the Epsom salt inside and out. Could you please explain?

Epsom Salt is a nutrient for plants, I use it faithfully when planting or transplanting. Put some in the bottom of the well where the plant will grow. It really helps, but it you put it one the actual plant, it will kill it, that is why it goes into the soil at the bottom (root part) of the plant.
