Hi,

I'm installing an electrolytic grounding system (1-1/2" perforated copper
pipe in trenches filled with bentonite), but I've been having difficulty
finding large bag quantities of Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) to use to
"dope" the soil.

If anyone can point me to a supplier in E PA or nearby, I'd appreciate it.

Check your local feed store -- when horses and cows go lame they need
larger amounts than you or I do.

Thanks ... I'll check around the local feed stores.

Any other suggestions from others would still be welcome.

Just buy the salt for water-softerners. It's readily available and
probably cheaper.
