Also works great to fertilize flowers and plants - same formula should apply to lawn! http://www.ehow.com/how_5016008_grow-flowers-epsom-salt.html Kathy 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.
No. While not poisonous, Epsom salt is not sodium chloride; it is magnesium sulfate.
My suggestion is: don't use !
put it in a bath
no you have to use epsom salt Edited by dbrown7080: "no you have to use epsom salt" Really?? Thats like saying that only 1 kind of spice will work on your food. There all kinds of things you can use in a bath and every one of them have advantages and disadvantages. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) is good for sore joints or to relax. Sodium Chloride (table salt) would be good to help skin problems.

Epsom salt it is edible, but only in small quantities.
These two salts are laxatives, but the Epsom salt is more frequently used.
Not really. Table salt is Sodium chloride whereas Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate and is composed of magnesium, sulfur and oxygen and unlike table salt, it has to be refined before it has any particular use. Table salt will not have the same muscle relaxing effect as Epsom salts, and you may find table salt more drying to the skin.
