I've heard that using Epsom salt can benefit my plants, and I'm curious if this is true. Can someone explain how it works and if it can be mixed with my regular fertilizer to make things easier?

Epsom salts provide magnesium and sulfur, which can be great for plants, but remember to use them in moderation—no more than 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. It’s best to alternate Epsom salt applications with your regular fertilizer to prevent nutrient lockout or toxicity issues.
I’m new to this, so I appreciate the advice! Just to clarify, can you explain how alternating would help prevent those issues?
