This includes a very large plastic bag of Epsom salts.

A quick search around suggests there may be benefits including helping
plants to green up.

However it may take many years to work through the bag.

I'm reluctant to just chuck it but also reluctant to store it for another
20 years.

The first relevant match for application rates on Google (you may wish
to look elsewhere for confirmation) says 0.5-2 pounds per acre of
Magnesium for foliar application. If I interpret that correctly that
means a rate of five times that mass of Magnesium Sulphate on the basis
of the calculation

Just chucking it on the soil surface of pots works perfectly well.
It's not harmful in moderate overdose.
