There we have your attention – scroll up to let know how else can you get the seaweed for your plant babies.

Seaweed will benefit your garden any time of the year, but it is especially useful as a mulch to protect plants during hot, dry weather. In urban gardens, seaweed is a valuable source of food, mulch, and organic pest control all in one natural material. It is magical stuff in the water, and it’s somehow even more so when out of it. It’s incredibly healthful to us, to our animals, to our soil, and our plant babies. It seems anyone who gets to ingest a little seaweed does better for it. As seaweed breaks down into the soil, it encourages microorganisms whose activities help convert unavailable nutrients into forms that plants can use. It increases chlorophyll production and contains many micronutrients important for soil and plant health, as well as acting as a growth stimulant: it is rich in cytokinin, and plant growth hormones that work above and below ground, improving root growth.

Seaweed can also be in the form of liquid! Yes, the same nutrient rich seaweed can be used to extract liquid seaweed plant food, like IFFCO Urban Gardens’ Sea Secret liquid, which is even more handy to use. Like a spring tonic, liquid seaweed biostimulant invigorates your plants and enriches your soil. As you fill up your sacks, let your thoughts drift to the many benefits this will bring to your very own urban garden.

Seaweed contains phosphorus, which helps plants develop healthy and strong root systems. It also improves soil texture, greatly improving drainage and aeration.

Strengthens plant defenses

Any time a plant is exposed to something that stresses it, whether it be lack of water, huge temperature variations, or problems with insects or diseases, the overall plant health is affected. In turn, the plant is more susceptible to other problems – similar to when your body is overtired making you more susceptible to injury or sickness. Seaweed liquid helps in numerous ways to strengthen plant defenses, making them healthier and more vigorous. Kind of like boosting their immune system.
