Held onto this tip for some years now. Will share it here: Add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt to a gallon of water and spray your lawn for a lusher, greener lawn. Epsom salt is loaded with magnesium!
Don't add epsom salt unless you've done a soil test and it showed your lawn had low levels of either sulfur or magnesium. If your lawn ph is already acidic or high in magnesium I wouldn't add epsom salt. Dolomite would be a better choice. Too much magnesium can stunt growth due to it's tendency to slow calcium uptake and alter the soil. It looks like it worked out for you so you likely have magnesium and sulfur deficiencies, high calcium and high ph soil like me. You may want to get a spreader and spread 1-3 lbs per 1000 sq ft in your lawn until your nutrient levels read optimal on a test. Do not apply a quarter lb per square ft in the future, that's generally way too much. It's the equivalent of more than half a ton per typical yard. You'll eventually burn your lawn, harm your grass or cause enough run off into the water system to affect aquatic life. It's likely most of this ran off when you watered it, which is why it didn't harm your lawn. Note: If you have a sprayer you can do a foliar application by adding 1-2 tablespoons per gallon / per 1,000 square feet and spraying your lawn.
The more I learn about lawn the more you realize having a green lawn is a combination of things ....knowing your soil ph and apply line if needed ....adding things like Epsom salt,humic acid,seaweed, organic fertilizer and good mowing practice all helpt...
Get the granules you get more. any big box stores have em. call em first or check their web site. homedepo lows. once you put it down if you water it in you will get results fast. you can put it down before rain too.
what's up. thank you for commenting. I use weed and feed as soon as I see weeds in spring. then all through the season I spot spray with spectracide weed stop with crabgrass killer. I get these products from walmart. lows and homedepo the prices are higher.
I’m sorry but a hand full of salt in what you thought was a square is not a test. You couldn’t see anything because of your shadow and you never marked the area to show what the test area was. This was a waste of time
Actually go to the end of the video where it's a week later and he very clearly describes the portion he treated ( The left half of the screen vs the right side of the screen where he didn't and you can indeed tell the left side is darker than the right side.
That was the best clearest simplest explanation of Epson salt for Green lawn anywhere on the Internet thank you

You must be an expert.

I was looking up Lawn Tonic with soap, beer and soda, ammonia, does this work better? Like the idea of green vs just grass! Congrats on your lawn!
Thank you. The best thing to green up your lawn is ironnite. Epsom salt helps too. Green tonic also helps. Ironite is the best bang for your money.

Would epsom salt help with yellowing from dog urine?
no water it down heavy that should help
@@obsessedwithlawnoddswithgr2092 actually yes, Epson salts help flush the soil while providing magnesium to roots.
How did you compare it with ironite?
ironite is better. ty for watching
With this be just the regular Epsom salt nearby in the regular grocery or pharmacy store?
