epsom salts

Can't Post | Private Reply

Has anyone discovered a source for epsom salts in bulk here? I need maybe 50lbs for my poor palm trees, and all I can find is little bitty packages in the farmacia. I guess epsom salts are used only as a laxative in Mexico, so I've gotten some funny looks when I've asked for a large quantity. Any suggestions?

I've been doing research on palm health since the fire last week, and I've read that an application of epsom salts will help a yellow palm regain its' green. Since my palms are beyond brown, I thought they might like some too. What I really need is rain, but I'm not yet sure where you get that.

When I lived in Key West, Florida, we used to water the palm trees daily with sea water.
