Kelp, the Wonder Supplement

Most gardeners tell of the great benefits and incredible results they have in their gardens after adding kelp. True, kelp, also known as seaweed, is a brown algae that can make your garden brighter and brighter than before.

To start, kelp captures sunlight and absorbs nutrients from seawater through its leaves. Oceans receive an abundance from all over the planet. As a result, it contains all the known minerals, trace elements, and vitamins.

Although minerals and plant hormones are found in seaweed, they cannot be used as complete fertilizers by themselves. Although kelp contains a sufficient amount of nitrogen and potassium, it has little phosphorus.

Of the many flakes that can be used for gardening, there are two that provide the most nutrients and hormones. They are called Ascophyllum Nodosum and Laminaria Digitata.

However, kelp extract is best used to promote tight growth as a supplement used as fertilizer. They contain strong concentrations of minerals, micronutrients, amino acids, and vitamins. In addition, kelp contains many growth hormones, including cytokinin, auxin, and gibberellin, which stimulate cell division and a larger root system.

In addition to trace elements and minerals found in kelp, it also contains unique vitamins that help keep your plants healthy. A good immune system will help prevent disease, insects, and temperature fluctuations.

Not only that, kelp contains amino acids and carbohydrates that release minerals and nutrients. Chelates allow plants to absorb several important elements.

Now that you know what kelp is and its benefits, let's talk about using it in your garden. High levels of growth hormone cytokinin are responsible for cell division, expansion, differentiation, and growth of chloroplasts.

You can add kelp to your garden with foliar spray or by adding it to your reservoir where it goes straight to the root. Here is a great article on foliar foods. The trick is to use kelp at the right time to accelerate growth in the area you are trying to improve.

For example, by applying kelp to the root zone during transplant, you will see more growth. Likewise, if you feed your plant kelp at the beginning of the flowering phase, you will get more blooming sites which means more fruit and flowers at harvest time.

I prefer the soluble coconut shape. It's easy to use and the results are great. Solid Seaweed Extract ™ is what I love.
