Hello,

Bunnings is selling several seaweed solutions. It seems a number of them
come are meant to be attached to watering hoses and sprayed.

What about decantering the mixture into a pump sprayer and spray the mixture
onto the plants.

I've been doing that but keeping the ratio small- 20ml - 50ml per 6 litres
of water. (My pump sprayer is 6 litres, u see)

Should I increase the dosage- to 100ml? (i.e. a teacup full).

Cheers!



The Seasol site ( http://www.nrrbs.com.au/fertseasol.htm ) recomends
25ml per 9 litres every 2 weeks which works out at 16.67mL/6L, so I
guess 15 - 20 mL/6L would be OK. Of course this may vary from brand to
brand.

Why dont you just send them the money. and save yourself the work?
Forget about gardening?
It seems like this gardening hobby is less than a hobby and more like a
money wasting exercise these days.
In my day (I'm 60) we would use what ever fertiliser was parked at the
locations. Including horse sheep and cow manure.
Sea weed fertiliser at Dollars a few weeks would have put me of
gardening.. I was trying to save money and not spend it... You dont need
to. Whats happeningto the world. You may as well spend the moeny at the
green grocer and forget about gardening.
Plant what will grow without expensive fertiliser. It gets washed away
most of it... Use only what your plant will respond to. No more.
Recycle organic waste products etc...
