Epsom Salts





I've read over and over about the benefits of sprinkling epsom salts around
the roses in the spring.  Does anyone else know of any other organic helps
such as this?  I've seen some other crazy sounding concoctions using beer,
tobacco, etc..  Do these brews (har, har) seem to be beneficial to the
plants?  What are the benefits, if any?

Side question:  would it be beneficial for the perennial companion plants
around my roses to receive a sprinkling of the epsom salts as well?  Why or
why not?

Still another side question:  I've also read where the shrub roses do not
need a lot of fertilizing like the hybrids, if any at all.  Is this a good
rule of thumb, or should I do the monthly fertilizing thing like the
others?

Again, thanks so much in advance!!
