Our seaweed fertilizers are made from collected seaweed. Seaweed is one of the best gifts you can give your garden as it has long term positive effects on your soil and your plants. It contains naturally occurring growth stimulants as well as a very broad range of essential minerals and trace elements which are used in the growth of strong, healthy plants. Our very own Seafeed brand of seaweed based fertilizers, plant feed, and compost were designed to help achieve maximum results in the garden. Growing fruit and vegetables takes a lot of nutrients from your garden soil, and when grown and harvested very little of these valuable elements are returned. The benefits of adding organic materials to your garden are well known with seaweed being recognised as one of the top performers.

Why is seaweed so beneficial?
Seaweed has been used for centuries by farmers and gardeners alike as a plant feed and soil improver and in many cases the soil has been built entirely on a seaweed base. The sea is very rich in minerals and as seaweed grows it absorbs minerals in its plant tissues which are then released and made available to plants when the seaweed is broken down. Scientists have found in seaweed a veritable soup of plant-growth stimulants, vitamins, chelating agents, trace minerals, enzymes, and amino acids, all of which influence the growth of plants in different ways. Studies have shown that seaweed can produce dramatic results in plants including 40 percent increase in yield from cucumbers and potatoes. Plants have been seen to have better frost tolerance, increased seed germination, and a greater ability to absorb trace elements. Plants also seem to suffer less transplant shock because of the growth hormones contained in seaweed so handy as a liquid feed before planting out vegetable seedlings.
