    I will have to go to the GH and look at what the package says because I don't know off the top of my head. I can check tomorrow. Remind me with a PM if I don't remember.

    9.8% magnesium sulphate by volume on the package! Hope this helps!

    Somewhere around here a ways back, Gin posted that she uses maybe 1 tsp per gallon, each month.

    Is that right, Gin?
