Ever since I started our fruit trees on a good handful of Epsom salts straight, applied at the root line, we have a bigger yield. I do it in the Fall, but I'm sure the needs for each fruit are different. We have pears and peaches and and ancient June berry tree. Our lilacs are right fond of it too. <br /><br />Now that we have a straw bale garden, I'll be conditioning next Spring's bales with handsful of the stuff straight onto the top of the bales, two weeks before I plant anything. Am still working out the right mix of nutrients for straw bales. Despite the experts, I doubt that grass fertilizer is sufficient. Necessary, yeah, but not sufficient- e.g., where I put the tomatoes needs a different mix than the space for herbs whose flowering I want to discourage, e.g., basil.Dymphnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040064724546519425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-18024825078914342142015-07-03T12:29:11.992-05:002015-07-03T12:29:11.992-05:00Praise the Lord and pass the magnesium!Praise the Lord and pass the magnesium!Curtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-61096731327902240202015-07-03T04:36:36.909-05:002015-07-03T04:36:36.909-05:00Glad you're OK and found out the importance of...Glad you're OK and found out the importance of magnesium. Our farmlands have been long played out of minerals for the vegetables to uptake so everyone must supplement and as a previous reply stated a liquid for is easier for the body to absorb than a pill. The old remedy for sore muscles was a Epsom salt bath, which is magnesium. And the skin can absorb a lot. Same with the soles of the feet, so a foot soak in Epsom also works wonders. They sell gels in health food stores for the same application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-86452533291812899332015-07-02T23:37:22.514-05:002015-07-02T23:37:22.514-05:00The Lord hears and answers prayers.

If they gave you cheap mag. oxide, toss 'em. <br /><br />The kinds I have the Baron on:<br /><br />Magnesium threonate (passes the brain blood barrier) capsules<br />Magnesium chloride (more or less). It's the liquid kind, applied to your skin. Feels kind of oily until you rub it in. Therefore often called mag. oil<br />When the "oil" wasn't enough for leg cramps, I had him take a half tsp. of Tri-Salts. That's bicarbonate of calcium, magnesium, and potassium...all are crucial if you're taking a diuretic.<br />Magnesium malate - the form I take.<br /><br />That bicarbonate mixture is small amounts of the three in combination and is much better than taking any of them alone. Except magnesium: you need that separately in larger amounts than the Tri-Carb.<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Dymphna<br />Gates of Vienna<br /><br />You need a work-up by a skilled (NON-mainstream medicine) nutritionist, the sooner the better. Docs don't know much about nutrition or they'd have cleared up your bowel problem a long time ago. That problem could be partly addressed by fermented foods and micronutrients taken daily. Our farming soils are so depleted they don't give us much of what we need.<br /><br />Dymphnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040064724546519425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-17662515896470589262015-07-02T22:28:55.470-05:002015-07-02T22:28:55.470-05:00God bless you Mike and I am glad you are OK-ish.God bless you Mike and I am glad you are OK-ish.Ramsey A Bearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-91823031113821562832015-07-02T22:01:24.312-05:002015-07-02T22:01:24.312-05:00I am so glad to see you back posting!
