    Seasol alternative?

    I can seem to find Seasol in my area. (Northern Ontario, Canada).

    Can someone suggest an alternative?

    Our local garden shop stocks many varieties of seaweed tonic. Anything that is made from Seaweed & kelp etc or is an extract of those with little added other nutrients should do the trick.

    Thanks, I picked up an organic product based on Kelp and a few others.

    Hope it does the trick, how much should i add?

    I add about a cap full each day. Also throw in some chelated iron to keep the plants leaves green.

    Its just overpriced kelp emulsion isnt it?

    granulated kelp can be bought at feedstores (for horses etc)

    the nz govt gives us a recipe too
