- Seaweed or Kelp meal fertilizer is one of natures best organic fertilizers you can use in your garden. In this episode I show you how to make your own fertilizer from foraged kelp and seaweed. I collect over 10 types of seaweed kelp, air and sun dry, then crush up with a few techniques I will show you. This abundant resource can add over 60 trace minerals to your garden and is very high in potassium which most plants need.

I follow a guy in Ireland, I think, who puts out the seaweed and then puts lawn clippings over it, lets it weather, and then recycles his bucket garden soil that way. It's worked for him for years. Seems like good stuff. Home Grown Veg is his channel.
Oh yeah I think I watched some of his videos. I will have to check it out. You can go wrong with seaweed. Lawn clippings is a good use as well. I just don't have any access to them.
what about the salt content of the seaweed? would that hurt plants over time?
Yeah the bucket (booooket) guy. 😊 You can mix seaweed and leaves and or old potting mix and make compost too. Cold compost.
Do you have a high speed blender? I have a Blendtec. Vitamix would work
A 20 pound bag of kelp meal is like 85 dollars where I live. I wish I was by the coast lol. Literally in Missouri about as far as I could get.
Wow. Yeah that is a lot of money. I guess I scored a deal than. You might have got some good stuff if it is harvested somewhere there is pristine waters. Wonder where yours came from?
@@GrowingOrganicTvShow I'm using the down to earth brand Kelp meal. You can find the down to earth stuff in many organic garden stores and most hydro stores. Im assuming its shipped here from kelp farms off the coast somewhere. It definitely works well tho
I was able to collect 2 types of seaweeds in SD last weekend. Thanks for the video. I foraged a hair like type and the bubbly with fat leaves type. Gosh, I should find their names…Thanks for the suggestion! My garden is going to love it 😊
Great. Yeah it sounds like you have some similar stuff. I been seeing a lot of the grassy hair like seaweed lately too.
I surf in la jolla a lot of mornings and hated this stuff...May have to use it for my grow. Thanks!
Awesome. You must have recognized that beach. haha, Yes it should help your grow with a diversity of sea life in this. Let me know how it works out.
Love your kitty
Aww thank you. He is so sweet.
Great video. Not sure how i feel about seaweed in my car though. Suggest using a big butcher knife to slice through rather than scissors; pretend you're a chef. Then use a rolling pin for the next rendering. And finish it up in the blender. Should make a fairly fine mixture. I'd watch a video on that.
Yeah fortunately I have a truck for that. Good ideas. Thanks, I was thinking about the different ways to do it. Some chunks are pretty dense and not sure if my blender could handle it.
Do you add it as a much or incorporate it into the soil? Thanks!!!
Yes I add it into my soil mix or you can sprinkle on top and it will break down.
hey can i feed this to my cattle as mineral feed? because kelp meal is so expensive.
I am assuming it would be good for cattle as well but be sure to ask a professional that deals with cattle specifically. Animals needs vitamins and minerals like humans too.
🤔 Does the salt water not affect your grow?
What I do is rinse all the seaweed off really good before using in garden. There still may be a little salt left but it should be fine.
Can you use a blender
That is a good idea. It would probably work. Some pieces are pretty hard though
Love your FAT kitty 🐱
Red alga is edible.
Good to know. I have to try that. Thanks. I think a lot of seaweed and algae is edible too.
