Epsom Salt in the Garden - It Works
I could dub this the year of the rose because I am having a phenomenal year of growth and blooms in my rose garden. They are growing out of control and blooming more than they ever have. My neighbors stop by often to comment on the lushness of my rose garden.
You may be wondering if this is the first time my rose bushes have produced and the answer to that is no, it is not the first time, but it is the first time, they have been so vibrant, lush and plentiful.
I read, that you should add a little Epsom salt to the hole when planting a rose bush but mine were planted last year and the year before so I improvised and sprinkle a handful around each rose bush. I really did not expect much but as you can see from the pictures, I received a lot! Read the entire article and see more photos - http://clearissa.hubpages.com/hub/Epsom-Salt-in-the-Garden-It-Works

DO NOT use Epsom Salt in your tomatoes. I did and lost my whole tomato garden, they all withered and died off, my bad.

I use epsom salt in my tomatoes. The trick is put a Tbls in the whole then put soil over the salt plant as usual. Have had great luck the last two years, strong plants and lots of fruit.
