I'm not sure about the Epsom salt additive, but I have had very good luck
(I'm in New England, zone 6) growing green bell peppers with manure tea.
I'm not terribly accurate with measurements, I basically put 1/2 a bag of
manure into an old pillow case and into a garbage can.  Then I fill the
garbage can and keep a lid on it.  The manure steeps and I use a 1/2 gal
to a gal on each pepper plant about once a week, just refilling the
bucket with water. I used the same bucket for a full season and for the
first time ever got lovely, abundant green peppers.
