It's better than lime.


But it's not so good for the environment. Calcified seaweed might be
great as a fertilizer but it's damaging our oceans. Very unsustainable
and now banned by the soil association. An alternative would be Cal-
sea-feed - the same contents but made out of seaweed instead of the
calcareous (coral) marine algae.
