Kelp Meal

The Ocean's Gift to Gardening

Kelp, a type of seaweed harvested from the ocean, is the eighth jewel in our soil mix crown. This marine plant is a treasure trove of nutrients, including micronutrients, amino acids, and natural growth hormones, making it an invaluable component of our soil mix.

The inclusion of kelp brings a host of benefits. It is rich in trace elements and minerals like iodine, magnesium, and potassium, which are often lacking in conventional soil mixes. These nutrients are essential for various plant functions, including growth regulation and disease resistance.

Kelp's natural growth hormones, like cytokinins, gibberellins, and auxins, are particularly beneficial. They stimulate root development, enhance cell division and elongation, and can even increase flowering and fruiting. This hormonal boost can lead to more robust, resilient plants, capable of withstanding environmental stresses like drought, frost, and pests.

Moreover, kelp improves soil health by enhancing microbial activity. These microbes play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, breaking down organic matter, and improving soil structure. Kelp also aids in moisture retention, ensuring that plants have access to water when needed.

By adding kelp to your soil mix, we ensure that plants not only receive a wide range of nutrients but also benefit from natural growth stimulants, enhancing their overall growth and vigor. Kelp is particularly beneficial for gardeners aiming to grow organically and sustainably, as it's a renewable, natural resource that brings the richness of the ocean to your garden.
