Anybody know where I can get Epsom salt in bulk?
« on: April 11, 2004, 01:33:08 pm »
The Mexicans do not know what it is. It makes roses explode in color and strength. I'm thinking of starting a business there like KFC, secret ingredients of course, as Mexicans love their flowers and rose gardens. All profits could go into a Taldren "emergency" fund.

You mean I have to go to Sam's? I liked Sam Walton, it's his family that screwed things up, IMO.

BTW, history lesson, you know where Sam got his first money? A card game on a troop ship (WW2), 5k and he ALWAYS believed in servicing the smaller towns.

Thanks J! I can see the Mexican military cutting open all my bags? Duh, the drugs go to America, not the other way around?

I did not know that SL, thanks for the info. They have pharmacies all over C.C. but I never could find Epsom salt. I have a badarse rose garden (yes, I got pics), and when I was doing research on the net I read from the experts in Cali that Epsom salt mixed with water really makes roses thrive. At one time C.C. used to be the rose capitol of Mexico, nowasays unless you have a fence or gate around your house people steal them.  

BTW SL, can you enlighten me on the bruise treatment thingy?

Sure, put it in warm bath water and soak in it. It helps reduce the pain and swelling. Alot of athletes use it.

I don't remember the exact salt/water ratio, but there should be info on the box.
