DRIED KELP GRANULES (1kg)

Made from Australian bull kelp (Durvillaea potatorum) collected from the North West Coast of Tasmania.  It grows in some of the cleanest seawater in the world and is naturally low in heavy metals.  The kelp is sustainable harvested under license, from the beach, where it is naturally washed up following storms.  The kelp is then washed, dried and milled with no further processing or additives.  

When applied to the soil, the kelp rehydrates, swelling significantly to typically five times its size.  Wet kelp will start to decompose through microbial action, releasing nutrients and plant growth regulators.  

The mineral elements in the granules provide direct fertilizer benefit to the plant.  The protein and carbohydrates are important bio-stimulants for the soil microbes as well as providing indirect nutritional value to the plants.  Kelp contains a range of plant growth regulators including auxins, betaines, and cytokinins and sterols and polyphenols.  The plant growth regulators induce root growth, cell division and chlorophyll production.
