The 1-0-2 NPK analysis with trace minerals supports vigorous growth, stress tolerance, and improved yields in organic agriculture and sustainable gardening.

Cold-Water Kelp from North Atlantic

Harvested from pristine North Atlantic waters, Ascophyllum nodosum is a nutrient-dense brown seaweed rich in micronutrients, amino acids, and natural plant growth regulators. Cold-water kelp contains higher concentrations of beneficial compounds compared to warm-water species. The kelp is sustainably harvested, dried, and milled to preserve its nutritional value.

Key Features

• NPK analysis: 1-0-2 with essential micronutrients
• Certified organic for use in organic agriculture
• Source: Ascophyllum nodosum (North Atlantic kelp)

Nutrient Profile

Beyond the 1-0-2 NPK ratio, kelp meal provides over 60 trace minerals and elements essential for plant health. The natural growth hormones stimulate root development, improve nutrient uptake, and enhance plant vigor. Organic matter content improves soil structure, water retention, and beneficial microbial populations.

Application

Soil Amendment: Apply 5-10 lbs per 100 square feet and incorporate into soil before planting. For established gardens, side-dress with 2-5 lbs per 100 square feet.

Transplanting: Mix 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of potting mix or add to transplant holes.

Compost: Add 5-10 lbs per cubic yard of compost to boost nutrient content and microbial activity.

Top Dressing: Apply 1-2 lbs per 100 square feet around established plants and water in.

Apply in spring before planting or as a side-dress during the growing season. Can be used on vegetables, fruits, flowers, lawns, and ornamentals.

Benefits

Kelp meal improves plant stress tolerance to drought, heat, and cold. Natural growth hormones promote root development and nutrient uptake efficiency. Trace minerals support enzyme function, chlorophyll production, and overall plant metabolism. Organic matter enhances soil structure, water retention, and beneficial microbial populations for long-term soil health.
