I learned long ago that Magnesium Sulfate — the ingredient in epsom salts – will turn ferns a deeper green almost overnight. Mix the salts in with the water about every week, and the plant color deepens to a deep, forest green. Beautiful.

I’m heading down to True Value at lunch and going to try this out! Our lawn is embarrassing!

I have never heard of this for lawns, but what great advice. We share that same gardening zone as you and our lawn does not always look as lush as we would like it too. Forwarding this to my husband. -K

I am an ammonium sulphate user here. Light applications are best during hottest times. It is a real secret weapon. And it is CHEAP! Shhh don’t tell.
We also bought a load of mulch from the land fill and raked it over our lawn this spring.
I wanted to work on the lousy soil that the lawn is planted in. When we dug a sprinkler head this summer we were pleased to see the black layer on the surface from the mulch that worked into the grass.
Great job!
