    Answer This Question

    Yes, drilling holes in tree and bush stumps and pouring Epsom salt into the holes can help kill the stump and prevent new growth.

    By|Mar 3, 2026

      Yes. Drill 1 inch holes throughout the stump, fill with Epsom salt, lightly water. You can also cover with a tarp or solid piece of material to keep it from washing away.

          Can this product help with deterring raccoons? They keep digging up my lawn and a neighbor said that raccoons don’t like the smell of the Epsom salts.

            my elephant plant leaves turning yellow
            ByJun 19, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi Rose- While Epsom salt can address magnesium deficiencies in plants which appear as yellowing leaves, there could be other reasons for your elephant ear plant's yellowing leaves. Overwatering, underwatering, nutrient deficiencies (other than magnesium), pests, or diseases can all contribute to this issue. I recommend checking the moisture level of the soil and ensuring your plant is getting the right amount of water and sunlight. If you have any questions, please give us a call- 1-800-285-7333. Thank you!

              According to your guaranteed analysis Pennington's Epsom salt contains: 9.8% magnesium & 12.9% sulfur. Your words, not mine. (which only equals 22.7% of a whole) So then, WHAT is the remaining 77.3% made up of?

              Answer This Question

              Hi there! You're correct in noting that Pennington's Epsom Salt lists a guaranteed analysis of 9.8% magnesium and 12.9% sulfur, totaling 22.7%. The remaining 77.3% primarily consists of water molecules inherent in the compound's crystalline structure. This water content is typical for magnesium sulfate heptahydrate and contributes to the compound's solubility and effectiveness as a plant nutrient. Thanks!

                Please state the GUARANTEED ANALYSIS as written on the back of the bag, but which is such low definition that it is unreadable. I can see that it is Sulpher 12% but the Epsom Salt percentage is too blurred, however it doesn't look like 88%.

                  This product is one the best and least expensive things you can do to help your palms flourish especially in the Arizona desert heat with soil that is low in nutrients. Use this with some palm fertilizer and you should see come incredible results.

                  Epsom salt for plants
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Epsom salt for my inside plants. At first, I was confused,, Epsom Salts for plants ???? But it makes sense, the plants need magnesium, and after a month of using it I can see a big difference in my plants, they are growing faster than before. They look more strong and alive.

                        Works great for houseplantz
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I moved all of my plants in for the winter and they were starting to look meek without as much sun aand nutrients from when they were outside. I applied the Pennington Epson Salts around them and water it in over a couple weeks waterings. I am so impressed at how well they have responded and perked up. I will apply in another month to keep giving them some love. I have always used Pennington products for bird feed, grass seed hummingbird feeders, and have never been disappointed. I fully trust them and can see it in these epson salts. They work great.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is awesome. I'm new to plants and thought I didn't have a green thumb. My pothos looks amazing after using this and I have a huge peace Lilly that I contemplated giving away because I couldn't figure out why some of the leaves were yellowing. Added a quarter cup of this Pennington epsom salt to about a gallon of water and wala.... she's beautiful now!! I will be adding this to my gardening this spring and lawn care regimen as well.
