  • Organic Seaweed Extract

    Any one tried this as an organic way to feed your plants ?

    I am thinking of shropshire seaweed extract

    Shropshire seaweed is the best stuff in the world.

    I absolutely love it, my magic spray.

    It would wake the dead, seriously good stuff

      Strictly speaking it isn't a 'feed' it's more like a tonic full of good things to stimulate healthy growth

        I emailed them about how much to use to revitalize my potting mix for next year and they said 5 litres , which I found difficult to understand

        How do you administer it , do you mix it in water , How much do you give ?

          I use it as a foliar soliar spray, i, spray the leaves

          Best with a sprayer but if you dont have one a watering can is fine

          I do everything once a week, I do notice a massive difference

                  I'd put 10 ml in 5L of water. I've got a 10L pot with last years lemongrass in it & whenever I water it,I put a little bit of seaweed extract in the water,it gives a very light nitrogen & potassium feed as well as other nutrients.

                    Do you stay near the coast Tarragon, if so collect some seaweed (if allowed) and make your own seaweed feed
                    One other question with the number of posts you are submitting (not a complaint) are you related to VC by any chance

                          I'd use some blood fish & bone for refreshing old compost,it has the application rates on the packaging

                            Blood,fish & bone is a slow release fertiliser n.p.k 5-5-6 so it's a good balance of nutrients...

                              Don't stop asking questions, that's how we all learn.
                              The more questions the better, for every question you ask, there will be a number of other people wanting to know the answer, including myself, so ask away
                              You answered the first of my questions, what about the second
                              it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.
