[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?
