Comments about Kelp Meal, 3.5 Lbs.:

This stuff is expensive, but worth it. Only downside is that tomatoes and other veggies get so huge they outgrow their supports, but the increase in productivity is dramatic.

Comments about Kelp Meal, 3.5 Lbs.:

Last year, I planted potatoes for the first time using the cloth potato bins you feature. It was so successful, that I'm going to do it again this year. I thought I'd be true to my Irish heritage and fertilize them with your organic kelp meal since my ancestors used seaweed to increase the yield of their lazy beds.

Comments about Kelp Meal, 3.5 Lbs.:

I wouldn't use this stuff it it wasn't all natural. We have used this product with wonderful results for years. I don't use anything other than Kelp meal and an scant amount of greensand when planting. This Kelp is easy to use to side dress your plants throughout the season should they look a little stressed due to weather conditions. Keeps everything healthy from root to tips and flowers & perennials are just glorious.

Comments about Kelp Meal, 3.5 Lbs.:

My roses had just begun to add their new growth when I added this kelp meal (together with bone meal) to the soil surrounding them. Then I went away for a long weekend, and when I returned 5 days later, the roses were literally covered with new growth. One shoot had gained nearly 18 inches in just that short time! I've never seen anything like this result before, so I think that kelp meal is nothing short of miraculous.

I mixed this up with the Greensand and put a 1/2 cup in the planting hole for my vegies. Let me tell you, they love me for it! It added the nutrients that my soil was missing and my plants are so healthy looking and loaded with veggies.

Comments about Kelp Meal, 3.5 Lbs.:

It is too soon to evaluate the total effect on my plants since not enough time has passed. I used it hoping for greater height on one particular annual plant type which I grow from seed. I won't be able to evaluate it's effect on the height for a while, but I have noticed a better greening in leaves which, before the kelp meal, showed signs of yellowing.

I am hopeful.

Comments about Kelp Meal, 3.5 Lbs.:

I used Kelp in 2006 and the tomatoes were taller then me. I didn't use it in 2007 and the tomatoes were only half the size. This year I had decided to use the Kelp again and the garden looks good despite the last planting and lots of rain. I recommend it for all gardens and especially for the older gardens. Great product
