Check out our Dried kelp fertilizer on eBay. Made with 100% sustainably farmed Scottish kelp. This is the time of year to put seaweed on your garden 💚🌱! . 1kg dry kelp = 10kg wet seaweed once mixed into your soil. ebay.co.uk/itm/1561255615… #eBay via @eBay_UK


Beautiful blue sky days on #isleofskye mean perfect conditions for preparing the seaweed lines for upcoming harvest season. The biomass of #kelp can double every 2 weeks at this time of year, so it's time to start planning logistics for landing & processing! #kelpcrofters

For those of you planting your own seeds, the 2-4 leaf stage is a great time to apply the first dose of seaweed extract. It will encourage stronger root formation, which is so important for healthy seedlings and survival of transplants. #gardening #seaweed #biostimulator

Worried about frost killing your young plants? Well seaweed extracts are proven to help: "A foliar application of seaweed extract provides crops with an additional 2-3°C extra frost tolerance". Head to KelpCrofters shop to buy some Scottish kelp extract. deepgreenpermaculture.com/2022/01/17/how…


Some Scottish kelp grows incredibly quickly, making it a great source of phytohormones for stimulating the growth of other land-plants. Read more about seaweed as a plant growth stimulant on our website: kelpcrofters.com/plant-growth-s… #kelpfarming #biostimulant #Sustainability
