I keep reading that magnesium sulphate DOES occur naturally Salmo, it is a mineral found in water. And I am not an organic puritan bending any rules - I don't know enough about it to be anything like puritan. Just trying to understand what is and isn't considered organic that's all and it's a question that has sprung from reading conflicting material - just wondered what the wise and knowledgeable folks on here thought about it cos I really dislike "grey areas", if you know what I mean.
My - possibly incorrect - understanding of "organic" veg growing, is growing food without the use of synthetic lotions, potions, sprays etc. whether they be feeds, herbicides or bug killers. I just wanted to try and use as few as poss really. And I accept its not for everyone and have no desire to push my ideas on anyone or start a big debate about organic, to be or not to be. Still really non the wiser on the Epsom Salts front though!
