15 ways Epsom salt can help your garden grow better

8. Tree stump remover
Tree stump removal can be costly, but if you don’t have the money to get a stump removed, let Epsom salt come to your rescue. Best Plants recommends drilling holes into the stump and filling in the holes with Epsom salt. In weeks, the stump will begin rotting.
9. Beautiful blooming roses
Roses are beautiful, but they can be tricky to grow. Epsom salt makes it a little easier. According to Natural Living Ideas, adding Epsom salt to rose bushes encourages them to produce larger flowers with darker, deeper colors. To incorporate Epsom salt to your rose bush’s diet, add it at the time of planting and when flowers are in bloom.
10. Splinter removal power
Splinters are inevitable when you are gardening. Epsom salt can help with that. If you get a splinter when gardening, Best Plants says to soak the area that has the splinter in it in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Epsom salt and water. That should make the splinter pop out of your skin on its own.
11. “Frizzle top” fighter
In sunny areas where palm trees thrive, one of the most common things to see is palm trees that are yellow at the top. This look, which Best Plants likens to a bad hair day, is called “frizzle top” and due to a lack of magnesium. You can restore your palm trees to health by spraying the crown and base with Epsom salt and water.
12. Cure leaf curling
Leaf curling is a sure sign of a lack of magnesium in a plant. If the leaves on your plant are curled, amend the plant’s soil with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of Epsom salt.
