<< 1/2 cop Epsom Salts in a gallon of water and sprayed all my
 plants.  Three days later all my mint is dead.  No noticeable affect on the
 others yet (Orchids, bananas, 20 varieties of peppers, tomatoes, zinnias,
 Jerusalem artichokes, garlic, horseradish, lilies and a few other flowers).
 I'll post more results when/if they are noticed. >>

     I don't mix the epsom with water ...I sprinkle it around the base but 
away from the stem of the plants.........then water it in....I'm sure when in 
water and sprayed on the foliage it burns it~ Debra~
