All,
Nichols Nursery in Albany or. has a supply of concentrated kelp for
small garden use - $3.50 for a piece that will reconstitute in a gallon
of water - then use 3 tsp of the gallon mix per liter, or 1/2 cup per 2
gallon watering can.
I have been using this for about a month on my inside plants as well as
my 250 seedlings for the vegie garden - amazing stuff - vegies are ready
for the garden about 2 weeks earlier than usual and the house plants
look fantastic, glossy green and even have a second total blooming on my
Christmas cactus.
they may have it available in bulk, not sure - website is

Wonderful people and affiliated with Oregon State University in some
manner

Subject: Re: [compost_tea] kelp sources for tea
Hi Kev & Bob
Could you elaborate more on your use of the kelp flour please.
Do you use it as a food for the tea, or to add nutrients to the
tea so the end product is both tea and nutrients.
What results are you finding from using this?

We use kelp flour. Anybody else onto this? SFI Tea
Tests we performed, indicate results are just as good using kelp flour
as compared to using soluble kelp ($oluble is wicked expensive).
Buy the stuff in bulk. Volume cuts down on cost. We DO
LIKE providing materials to end users, cheap. Although the biological
approach is rad and speaks for itself, the surest way to speak loudly is
through economics. Biological Programs are economical. Would be happy
to pass materials on to you.
Peace~
