  • Epsom salt to improve seed germination.
  • Epsom salt is known to promote seed germination. It strengthens cell walls and provides them with enough energy for growth. Young plants thus become more numerous and resistant. In addition to this, during the germination process, the seeds lose sulfur. Using Epsom salt will compensate  losses. To do this, dilute a tablespoon of Epsom salt in 4 liters of water  and use this solution to water your seedlings.  You can also add a tablespoon of Epsom salt to the bottom of each seed hole.This trick can be used once a month on seedlings,  during the growing period.
    • Epsom salt to improve the flavor of fruits and vegetables

    Epsom salt makes fruit sweeter by increasing the level of chlorophyll present in fruit tree cells.

    To do this, dilute a tablespoon in 4 liters of water and apply this solution to the roots of fruit trees, but also vines or walnut trees, every month,  during the period vegetative growth.

    When it comes to vegetables, Epsom salt  is especially beneficial for tomatoes and peppers.  Since tomatoes often suffer from magnesium and calcium deficiency, it is recommended  feeding them with Epsom salt more than other plants. To do this, simply water them with a solution of water and Epsom salt every two weeks. This will give you  tastier tomatoes. The same goes for peppers that need to be fed with Epsom salt every two weeks to obtain  a larger harvest.

    That said, Epsom salt is an ally for your garden and orchard plants. In addition to feeding them and enriching the soil with magnesium and sulfate, it eliminates parasitic insects and obtains a better quality harvest.
