Everything grows big in Texas, even acres LOL. I think an acre up here in Ohio has 43,560 sq ft

[(5280 * 5280 sq ft / sq mile) / 640 acres per sq mile = 43580] Rounding to 44000 or 210 x 210` works for me for rough figuring most of the time.

I've used Epsom salts at times on tomatoes; sometimes it seems to help, sometimes not, and I've never figured out what the common factor was. Let us know how it works out ok?

I plan to broadcast it like granular fertilizer.  The Epson Salt Council

100 square feet.  An acre has 48,560 square feet.  I'd guess that would be a
couple of 50 lb. bags per acre.
