Kennedy got bored of course, because she’s 7 now and thinks that’s cool.

Totally out-of-the-blue and just because, just as a blog post should be.I picked up some.

a few weeks ago to try out a trick I heard about, and it got me thinking… what else is this household staple good for?Well, I’ll tell ya!.1)Add some to the bath for a relaxing soak for soar muscles.

I think this is probably the most common use.. 2)On itchy skin or for bug bites: Dissolve a tablespoon of epsom salt in 1/2 cup of water, let it cool, and then spritz it on itchy skin or soak a cloth in it to make a soothing compress.. 3).: Adding a few bags to the soil before planting can help replenish the magnesium levels in the soil, which have been depleted due to over-farming.. 4)Adding a tablespoon of epsom salt to the ground around a rose bush before watering each week is also supposed to help them grow faster and stronger.

(If only Chris hadn’t run over my rose bush with the lawn mower!).

5)While you’re at it, add some to the ground below your tomato plants too!.We’re not just going to plant over top like they do with that landscaping fabric.

Been there, doesn’t work.. Judging by how well the plasticky side of our garden seems to be doing in the weed department, I’m a little tempted to create plastic paths down the centers of all of our rows in the future just to prevent having to weed so much.I won’t, because that would be even weirder than having a plastic half-garden.
