Many farmers in Africa have came up with questions regarding Epsom salt and how safe it in green gardens:

These questions include; 

1) Are Epsom Salts organic?
2) Are Epsom Salts safe to use in organic gardening?

The answer to both questions is yes, and broadly this is explained as below.

Definition of Epsom Salts is a colorless or white crystalline salt (magnesium sulfate hepta-hydrate, MgSO4·7H2O) found in the minerals kieserite and epsomite and in mineral waters.

Epsom salt was first prepared at Epsom, England. The salt has a bitter taste. It has been used in medicine as a cathartic, in hypertonic baths to reduce swelling, and in dyeing as a color fixative.

The word “Organic” is used most commonly these days to define whether something can be used safely in organic gardening, or rather, is approved for use in Certified Organic farming by various international bodies, but scientifically speaking, the word “organic” means derived from a living organism.

Since Epsom Salts are “of the earth”, meaning they are a harvested product found in well water, they is considered organic, and subsequently are considered safe for organic gardening.  However, just for the record, one must remember that we are at the top of the food chain, and we have no way of controlling all of the resources we use in our gardens. 

Epsom Salts help with the uptake of magnesium, but it is a good idea to test your soil for mineral deficiencies before using Epsom Salts as a soil amendment.  However, if you’ve noticed blossom end rot on your tomatoes, or under-performing roses, you can confidently apply this product in their direction.
