Kelp Meal

Product Information

Sea of Abundance

Kelp Meal contains 60 trace minerals and an assortment of amino acids, enzymes, and alginates that feed and stimulate the necessary microorganisms in your soil. A healthy, active microbial population will breakdown organic material and improve the quality and texture of the soil. The health of your soil is vital to the health of growing plants.

Healthy soil doesn’t come overnight. What you will see is a gradual improvement in the feel and look of your soil. It will become more crumbly and lighter in texture, perhaps becoming a little darker in color as the microorganisms digest and make available the organic matter in your soil. As you continue to use kelp meal from season to season you will see healthier-looking, disease-resistant crops and your soil and will look better and better.

Benefits

  • Exceptional natural ingredient for increasing organic matter
  • Improves microbial activity in the soil
  • Reduces nutrient leaching
  • Increases water retention
  • Promotes manageability and tilth in heavy soils
  • Improves soil fertility

What is kelp meal?

North Atlantic Sea Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) is gathered from the North Atlantic Ocean near Nova Scotia, Canada. Dried kelp has long been popular for crops that demand high levels of potassium to flourish. Kelp meal is nothing more than kelp that has been chopped into small flakes.

Why should I use kelp meal?

Although kelp is most commonly associated with potassium, it contains more than 70 other trace minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and plant hormones.

Because kelp comes from the sea – a natural mineral soup of common and rare nutrients – it is one of the only soil additives that includes mannitol. Mannitol is a natural sugar that helps break down micronutrients so plant cells can process and use them more easily. This same sugar is a food source for soil bacteria and fungi helping them proliferate and aid in nutrient cycling.

Benefits for Indoor Plants

  • Kelp boosts the efficiency of any soil or potting mix to get the most from a limited space;
  • It is great for crops like lettuce and potatoes that demand very high levels of potassium;
  • It is one of the most effective ways to increase the size and storage life of a harvest.

Benefits for Outdoor Gardens

  • Kelp enhances root mass, making it ideal for plants with a lot of outdoor space to grow;
  • It makes plants moderately more resistant to a wide range of diseases, pests, and weather;
  • It is natural and all-organic, making it right for any chemical-free growing environment.

How do I use kelp meal?

1 cup  ≈ 4 oz.

Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds: To prepare new gardens, apply 1-2 lbs.  per 100 square feet and thoroughly mix into the top 3" of soil.

Containers: For new plantings, add 1-2 tbsp. per  gallon of soil and mix thoroughly OR add 2.5 lbs. per cubic yard. For  established plants, lightly mix 1-2 tsp per gallon into the soil surface once  each month during the growing season.  

Trees: Use 1 lb. per 1 inch of trunk  diameter.
