Yes Epsom salt is great for your lawn. It is not a salt it is a magnesium sulfate it activates the nitrogen in the soil to make the grass grow thick and green. The roots go deeper to get water. One draw back is you will need to cut the grass more often.

Its use therefore is intended to correct a magnesium or sulfur deficiency. Epsom salt will do the most good when it is preceded by a soil analysis and when it is applied according to the container's directions.
