It sat in our basement in a baggy in a drawer and then at my house in another drawer, for about 30 years that I know of.

I picked up some.a few weeks ago to try out a trick I heard about, and it got me thinking… what else is this household staple good for?

Well, I’ll tell ya!.1)Add some to the bath for a relaxing soak for soar muscles.I think this is probably the most common use.. 2)On itchy skin or for bug bites: Dissolve a tablespoon of epsom salt in 1/2 cup of water, let it cool, and then spritz it on itchy skin or soak a cloth in it to make a soothing compress.. 3).

: Adding a few bags to the soil before planting can help replenish the magnesium levels in the soil, which have been depleted due to over-farming.. 4)Adding a tablespoon of epsom salt to the ground around a rose bush before watering each week is also supposed to help them grow faster and stronger.(If only Chris hadn’t run over my rose bush with the lawn mower!).

5)While you’re at it, add some to the ground below your tomato plants too!.

6)Help to remove a splinter: Make a strong epsom salt solution in a cup of water and soak the splinter to make it easier to take out.. 7)Tile and.I scoured the web and looked at everyone else’s lists that I could find to help trigger my memory for things that I wanted to bring.

It was actually super helpful to see what everyone else liked to take along, so I thought it might be nice to share my list with you.I took it one step further though and made it a bit cuter and made it printable as well.

Nothing makes packing easier than having a cute list, right?Well, besides having someone else do it all for you.
