The later is classic Jerry Baker and most online gardeners do not put much
stock in his advice. Don't be offended if someone phrases that a little
less delicately.
Mint mouthwash and soda are DEFINITELY not organic; read the labels and
you'll see a LOT of manmade chemicals in there. They may be edible in
small quantities, but they're not organic.
One good organic tip besides the epsom salts (which are naturally
occurring magnesium sulfate): alfalfa is a tremendous growth stimulant.
Alfalfa meal is easiest to work with, but pellets can be ground, and hay
can be used, especially under strawberries.
