I was checking into using "water crystals" in my organic garden
because being in Zone 9, we need to retain as much moisture as
possible in the soil.

A British company suggested that I use "Seaweed meal", i.e. ground up
seaweed, as this would help retain water in the soil. I see this is
being used a lot on England, but can only find liquid seaweed or kelp
here.

Does anyone here have any experience with this stuff? Where can I get
some in the US, prefereably Los Angeles area.

Why don't you just use your own homegrown compost?
