This liquid seaweed fertiliser contains almost every micro-nutrient in a fully chelated (immediately available) form. The wild harvested seaweed is also loaded with carbohydrates which plants use as a building block.
Numerous beneficial micro-organisms also use carbohydrates as a food source (especially the alginates in the seaweed) that act as soil conditioners. Seaweed also contains alginic acid and mannitol, which are carbohydrates with chelating ability. Chelates are large organic molecules which encircle and hold trace elements enabling plants to effectively absorb micronutrients that are generally in ‘unavailable’ forms.
The alginates react with metals in the soil and form long, cross-linked polymers, these polymers improve the crumbling in the soil, swell up when they get wet and retain moisture for long periods.
