Default Mag Chloride

HI,
Finally found a feed store with MAg chloride, man was it cheap compared to that LFS Mag. 50 LB bag 13.20 , same stuff most saltwater synthetic companies buy, its from the Dead sea. PS if you have snow it melts ice and will not kill your plants..

Its the same stuff But damn 50 lbs (: I just get the milk carton size at a grocery or drug store for 1.89 that last me 2 maybe 3 yrs . In the waxed carton it will still get rock hard from moisture . But if you have that much demand for it its the same stuff used to animals and granny's sore feet (:
All of those high dollar watered down elements from a LFS are always cheaper in a local drug or grocery store (: Thats where we used to buy them before the Kent's and Sea chem all hit the market..And some later day water experts /Gods (:

Default Hi,

HI
That stuff your getting in the Drug store is Epson salt or mag sulfite, I ve read this can lead to toxic levels of sulfite, The mag chloride is a little better than mag sulfite.
It comes from that Dead sea company. its what all the synthetic saltwater companies buy in bulk/
