Applying Natural and Organic Seaweed Extract, Seaweed Granules, Seaweed Meal, Seaweed Powder as soil conditioners and plant feed is a great deal better than your synthetic feeds – it is a great deal better for the soil and for our environment to apply natural products.
For far too long now we humans have been misusing our ecosystems. Seaweed is crammed full of Mother Nature’s goodness and helps to revive the soil and replace all the lost nutrients.
It provides vitamins, bio-stimulants, minerals, amino acids, minerals and trace elements, all at the natural levels. The seaweed granules is a bigger sized grade than the meal, which is finer – both make a high-quality natural fertiliser and soil enhancer when dug into the soil, and around the base of shrubs and trees that are requiring a good build up.
Seaweed extract is an exceptional feed and gives an immediate boost to growing plants, crops and grass. Seaweed meal or seaweed powder mixed with grass seed will give great benefits to a new lawn. Existing lawns will also gainfrom either the dried seaweed products and/or liquid seaweed.
Seaweed extract can be applied to lawns right through the growing season. Do this every two to three weeks. You will surely see a difference in your flowers after applying seaweed.
Roots will be much stronger and healthier. Everyone growing vegetables will certainly get benefits from applying seaweed to the crop. The vegetables will have a better shelf life once harvested, and have a a superior colour.
Sprinkling your growing vegetables with some neat seaweed dust will certainly help to keep any pests and disease at bay. You will gain a bigger and better crop of tomatoes that have been treated with seaweed. Your potatoes will also benefit from a feed of seaweed. They will be bigger with a much better taste. The seaweed feed will also help to deter any potential potato blight.
Club root is a problem for many growers. Applying seaweed to the infected soil will help to decrease the club root. Application before planting works best. Try also to dip roots of the young plants into a seaweed mix before planting. Seaweed extract, diluted, and sprayed onto the growing plants will also help to fight the disease. Do this every two to three weeks during the growing period.
You should also make sure not to carry any infection with gardening tools and your feet – therefore try to maintain a good level of care. Applying natural seaweed products to agricultural land has numerous benefits, whilst reducing the synthetic versions of fertilisers, which are very detrimental to the environment.
Farmers will see the benefits in their grass, barley, wheat and other crops. Applying seaweed little and often to your land, crops, flowers, trees, shrubs and even added to compost – will give many benefits to you, to your plants and to the environment.
After reading a numerous gardening forums recently, I find that some gardeners are somewhat sceptical in using seaweed as a plant food and fertilizer. This is quite depressing as these gardeners are looking for a high level of the nitrogen, phosphorus and potash (NPK).
seaweed does not have high levels of the NPK. The highest of the three is the potash. Folk must apprehend that seaweed contains everything that land, animals and humans all require for life – all that mother nature provides – and it has it all at the natural levels and amounts.
Giving too high a dose of seaweed would not do anything any good. Feed seaweed at a proper level. As with everything – a little of what you fancy is not a dreadful thing so feeding seaweed little and often will give the best results.
If these sceptical gardeners are looking for a imperfection in seaweed plant food, then the one small problem it has is the potassium present in the seaweed locks up the small amount of magnesium present, so use another foundation of magnesium, such as Epsom salts, and do not apply it at the same time as the seaweed plant food.
It is not just the minerals and trace elements that make seaweeds so good in the garden. Seaweed also contains the hormones uxins, gibberillins and cyrokinins, there are various species of seaweeds growing naturally around our shores, and they all have the abundance of vitamins, minerals, bio-stimulants, amino acids.
The seaweeds growing close to the land tend to be the green varieties, the browns are found at mid to deep waters, and the reds in the dim light areas. If one does live near the beach, it is best to collect seaweed that has been freshly blown up following a gale. However seaweeds do not loosen and blow up when there is only a ½ moon!! Tides are caused by the gravitational relations between the Earth and the Moon, and differences can be seen with the tides depending whether the moon is full, new, half, or quarters.
Even when you try to pull an undesirable plant, such as the common dock (Rumex obtusifolius) – this can or cannot be done depending on the tide!!
So for the sceptical gardeners you should try applying seaweed. Why not take three similar plants – feed one with natural seaweed plant food, one with man-made material (which will never be as good whatever your result as it is not natural!), and one without any supplementary feed and see the outcome – you will be surprised!! And I am sure the seaweed product will win hands down, because of the natural levels of goodness and is safe to the land, animals and humans alike!
