At Windcrest Farm, we use three products to provide the best nutrition stress resistance for our certified organic transplants and field crops - pure worm castings, a mix of mineral and plant based fertilizers, and sea kelp powder added to our irrigation and foliar sprays. Many of you have tried the
Black Castings and our
Mary's Mineral Mix in your garden this year with great results. Now we are excited to offer the third component of our plant nutrition program in a convenient and economical
home gardening size.

Sea kelp fertilizer can be applied to the roots or foliage of the plant. When applied as a foliar spray, sea kelp helps the plant uptake certain elemental nutrients through the leaves. When applied to the roots, sea kelp increases the number of plant beneficial microorganisms found in the rhizosphere (the soil region subject to the influence of plant roots and their associated microorganisms). To maximize these effects, sea kelp should be applied the roots early in the plant's life cycle and later applied as a foliar spray.
PLEASE NOTE: Sea kelp is not curative but used as a preventative, it is most effective when applied before the plant or crop experiences any particular stress. Repeated, low dose applications show the optimum results as opposed to fewer, high applications. Treatments during and after any stress will help the plant recover from stresses such as disease, insects and fungi attacks, drought and cold temperatures.
What makes sea kelp fertilizer so beneficial to plants?
Sea kelp contains naturally occurring plant growth regulators, namely cytokinins, gibberellins, and indoles. In addition, it contains essential micronutrients such as iron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, boron, manganese, and cobalt for healthy plant growth and development. Seaweed fertilizers also contain a chelating compound called mannitol, which chelates micronutrients into forms that are readily available for plant use.
