Why do you feel the need to add Epsom Salts to your strawberries? Is it because the leaves are turning yellow? I would sprinkle a very little around the plants and water it in.

welcome to GoY. I agree with the above. it depends on why you think you need to add anything to them. :o)

I suggest diluting the ES instead of adding it straight on. It can burn the plant, especially small seedlings - like my tomatoes. 2 table spoons to a gallon, then water it in.
Some people say the ES deters slugs & pests. I can't say whether it does, but it's worth a try.

I prefer to sprinkle a bit of sugar over them:)......all kidding aside my answer would be yes. I can’t give you the proper ratio of epsonsalt to water ratio but I am quite sure that other GOY members will be able to give you an answer to that. i wish you many happy days in your garden!
