Kelp Meal makes up a small but nourishing percentage of our soil mix, providing a good source of potassium, vitamin B-12 (essential for healthy microbes & plants) and various phytohormones including cytokinins which can stimulate root, branch and flower growth.
Kelp meal is produced from a specific species of brown algae known as ascophyllum nodosum, harvested from the ocean, cleaned, dried and milled.
Kelp is not technically a plant and rather classified as an organism that spreads through the release of spores.
Kelp grows in cool, nutrient rich waters forming groups that resemble dense underwater forests home to a diverse ecology. Growing at a rate upto 1/2 metre per day these underwater forests have been known to cover over 5000 square kilometres.
