[compost_tea] Re: seaweeds
Hi all...more on kelp and seaweeds
I think kelp and seaweed contain a lot of mucilage, which is exactly
what it sounds like, kind of snotty stuff (sometimes I get a little
grossed out when I prepare seaweed for cooking...it definately needs
to be rinsed!). Plant roots secrete the same kind of stuff and it is
a great polysaccharaide resource for bacteria in the rhizosphere. I
bet the guys in your tea would absolutely love it.
Take care,
Allison

day and used Arame seaweed. I soaked it, as per directions, and then
thought about the soaking liquid.....any thoughts?
