i would say 2% solution for foliar feeding, and as for mixing in with the soil- i would say one teaspoon per gallon should be ok. remember it's better to under-do than to over-do it.

One (1) teaspoon per gallon when watering.

Too much will induce Mg lockout.

yes. epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. These micronutrients help other nutrients like our beloved NPK stay good and healthy. one lockout can cause deficiencies in areas that it isn't even lacking. Mg def---> n, p, or k lockout.

How many ppm's of epsom salt should I use? I'm thinking 50ppm

I don't like to think in teaspoons per gallon. its too fuzzy,
