I’m just here for the voice inflections
If you don’t have access to seaweed, can you substitute kelp meal that you can buy at the feed store?
Seaweed in compost, or gardening, I don't think has been "widely" known about
until recently. Not calling it a fad, but I think new popularity is the main reason for
the high prices. "New Super Fertilizer" I follow a channel called Home Grown Veg.
He swears by it. Makes what he calls Chop and Drop. A mixture of dried leaves,
grass clippings, and seaweed. Covers his beds with it in the fall and lets it winter
over. By Spring most of it is completely decomposed, just stir it in. Ive also read
in several articles that it helps deter slugs when used as a mulch because of the
traces of salt, and when it dries out, the jagged edges damages their bellies.
Another great video

Great tips, thanks for sharing
is it best to add seaweed to the garden bed in the late fall, when we put them to bed, or late winter/early spring while we are getting ready to prepare our beds for the planting season?
I dont live anywhere close to a coast but i do have a pond in my back yard im gonna try this with the weeds that grow in it and see how it goes
I do live next to the coast and will be going to get some seaweed for my rooftop veg garden… Thanks for the great suggestions.
Okay, public announcement: I would really caution to make sure you don't add too much sea salt to the garden, when land is salted, it could take 1,000 years to remediate according to Geoff Lawton! So I would soak it in fresh water and test its saltiness first.
Can one add this seaweed liquid to lactobacillus solution and then dilute when about time to use???
Good
I work down the shore In NJ so after work I'm gonna start collecting on the beach. We have 3 types the green dark and red chilling. Never thought It would be useful in my garden. Thanks for the video. Anyone wants any I'll send you some
Hi.
Would the seaweed carry sodium from the water n be too salty for the plant?
Hi ,love your video and and thanks for share. My question is I have made some seaweed fertilizer last summer and will they still be ok to use now?
And seaweed is the best source of iodine that soils over 100 km from the sea lack.
This time of year our beaches in Trinidad are covered in sargassum seaweed, I collect a small bag full washed it out dried it then re wash it again then chop it up into smaller and put into a 2 gallon bucket of water yesterday . How long should I leave it? How often should I apply it? Bless ps like your show.
I’m happy that you did a video on the benefits of seaweed as natural fertilizer. As an organic gardener, I switched from synthetic to natural fertilizer. I have one question regarding product selection. There are some organic products on the market that are made of just seaweed fertilizer and some are a solution of seaweed and fish or crustacean proteins. Which kind of fertilizer would you recommend most? I have heard that fish and seaweed solutions can add a complete array of nutrients for plants in the garden, but it sounds disgusting to water my strawberries and vegetables with fish. What is your opinion on that? Could I receive a boost in plant growth, blossoms and fruit by just using purely seaweed fertilizer?
Thanx.
Great!
what is sea weed made of besides those macro elements?
Just came from your excellent bonemeal video to find more excellence!! Thank you again!!
I found you trying to see if powdered KELP works like seeaweed. I bought a lot to take for thyroid but only can take teeny amts! It will take the rest of my life to finish it – and then some!
❤️
I used seaweed this year. Noticed BIG DIFFERENCE. I purchase big bag at my local UFA. Use it as my amendments as well as bonemeal.
does the powdered seaweed keep the macro and micro elements also
is the soaked "tea" seaweed more effective ?
Ok so i live in AZ, no beach here, i wonder if i could use dry seaweed from the korean market
Can reach me on fb and twitter
Can that liquid seaweed extract be uised for hydroponics?
