Which Epsom Salt ?

[artooks]

Guys,

I wanted to ask this because I could not find it in the site through search I am going to buy Epsom salts to make Birdwatchers sugar wash, but the problem is there are some varieties in the markets,

There is a epsom salt for bath, Epsom salt as garden fertiliser, I am confused which one should I buy I am just trying to avoid making a mistake therefore I need your help, is there a brand that you can recommend ?


Thanks

Epson salt lasts for ever. Here is the one I have been using for years.

My on topic answer: Take the cheapest one.

My off topic answer: Take instead a bag of mineralic fertilizer.

Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4). So long as what you're buying is 100% MgSO4, get the cheapest one. Bath salts and fertilizers are likely to have other things added to the mix.

Mortons natural Epsom salt plain is what my bag says.

I normally use this one .which costs around $4.00

But my son was told he should bath in epsom salts , so I picked up a 20kg bag from the feed store for under $20 .
But when I got it home I saw it had quite obvious signage that the levels of Cadmium , murcury and lead were below 5ppm (Parts per million)
So I wondered about the levels in my supermarket box .It did not have an assay on it so I contacted them and was told that theirs was less than 10ppm.

So it appears that the fertilizer stuff was possibly better......anyways .....something to consider

Just thought I'd mention that some bath Epsom salts my missus got once were perfumed .

yeah what yummy said.
I had to go to the chemists to find a natural one with no added shite

You get 10x as much for roughly the same cost. You decide.

how much is shipping to Turkey ?

[Pikey]

Try asking them ?

[artooks]

Hi,

I have some friends in US so when they come or their friends some to Turkey they bring them over, I do not pay shipping

[der wo]

I think you get it in Turkey too. Do you have gardening stores there? Epsom salt is needed to grow coniferes. You only have to find out the turkish name for it.
Or try it without epsom salt. I never noticed a difference with or without.

I get my Epsom salts from CVS or Rite Aid. Just get the plain unscented variety.

My photo above is Rite Aid, never paid attention when I bought it as I didn't realize there was a difference which is why I have enjoyed this thread. It has been working for my as I only use a pinch and it has worked for hundreds of fermentations.

Isn't Birdwatchers just with tomato paste?
