HAVE I GOT IT RIGHT....
((I'm mainly interested in the Epson salt placement ))
I haven't tried Epson salts but I have done other fertilizers in the past and compost nowadays. It sounds like you have the salt placement about right. I wouldn't worry to much about getting depth/width perfect. Do what feels right to you. I've had success putting them in halfway up the stem with an inch or so of compost at the bottom.
