To garden the "Old Fashioned" way - try seaweed!
Seaweed was THE fertilizer for farmers and gardeners until the industrial revolution when oil-based fertilizers were developed.

I have whole, fresh seaweed $1/lb for sale - I recommend 1lb/2ft² for light coverage, 1lb/ft² for dense coverage.

Did you know that marine fertilizers & foods are more nutrient dense than land-based?
The process behind this is called Atmospheric Nutrient Cycling, and has 3 parts:
1. Dust!! Dust from deserts is FULL of iron, phosphorus, and all sorts of trace minerals... & when it gets windy, which is often, it all falls into the ocean
2. Nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is taken up by marine microbes, and fixed into a form that is readily used by plants (and humans)
3. Upwelling cycles - once these microbes & phytoplankton die off, they get swept up into the upwelling cycle where their nutrients are absorbed by seaweeds (& other organisms)

So whether you use seaweed - lobster shells - crab shells, even sea water to grow your food or in your diet, you are accessing an abundance of nutrients that you can't find in solely land-based products.

Getting our personal garden ready to go for the season here at Ecosynque! We use rockweed in place of traditional fertilizer to help our newly transplanted plants with rapid root growth, ease some of that transplant shock, and give it that boost it needs to be successful this year!
If you're considering using seaweed in your garden this year, reach out with questions or orders, we'd love to help!
