Epsom Salts are a cheap and easy way to enhance the Curb Appeal of your Listings or home. Having beautiful, healthy looking plants can definitely raise your curb appeal quotient. Even if you don't have a lot of plants, it can only help your sales efforts if the one's you do have look healthy and happy.
I am fortunate to live in beautiful Pasadena, CA also known as the home of the Rose Bowl Parade. Every year I apply 1/4 cup of Epsom Salts around the base of my roses in the spring and every year I have the most incredible roses. They are fat and prolific and bloom earlier than everyone else's roses in my neighborhood. I have 20 or 30 blooms and buds on some plants. Epsom Salts add Magnesium and Sulphur to the soil, and at least in my area, it makes my roses go crazy. It tends to acidify the soil and a little bit goes a long way. I follow up with 1 Tablespoon for each plant throughout the growing season
I am including a link to the National Garden Society article about using Epsom Salts in the garden, as it also works on a number of other plants that like acidic soils.
