Maxicrop Liquid Seaweed (Kelp Extract, 32 Oz

I used this in my vegetable garden (and in some container plants) just a week ago, so I really can't tell what the results are yet, but it does seem to have perked things up a bit. I had an impatient basket that was looking a bit sickly and after giving it seaweed, it seemed healthier within about 24 hours. (I think the soil in that pot was very nutrient deficient.) I also noticed that my tomato plants seemed more "alert" if that's a good description--more vigorous, I guess. But, as said. I did put it on all sorts of plants in my garden--tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins, herbs, etc. and I don't know if it's my imagination or not, but the plants seem a bit healthier looking. I also emailed Maxicrop to ask if it was safe from vegetables because there is a small sticker on the bottle that says not for agricultural/food use. But I was assured it was safe and that the label was a part of an exhaustive process that plant-fertilizer manufacturers are put through for organic certification and other reasons and that adding that label is a requirement of the on-going process. The company was very responsive and told me that they're trying to get more product information on their Amazon pages. I'm satisfied that this entirely safe for food/vegetable and fruit crops. I have met farmers in Bermuda and Maine that swear by seaweed. In Bermuda I met a gentleman that had a small banana farm near the beach and he told me that he went down and raked seaweed regularly. When I asked him why he smiled and said, "Don't you use seaweed in your gardens? You should!" He then spent an hour showing me how he gathered it, dried it and mulched it. (I love the people in Bermuda.) There are so many variables in a home vegetable garden (soil, sunlight, watering), it's impossible to know exactly what benefit a certain product has, but I'm convinced that a healthy organic garden is dependent on a rich and broad source of micronutrients and this product from Maxicrop seems to be the answer to that. I'm also going to start using fish emulsion for the first time. There is a bumper sticker around here, from an organic farm, that reads, "Be good to the Earth and the Earth will be good to you." I couldn't agree more. I'll update this when I've used it a few more times (I'm going to use it weekly, one capful per gallon). In the meantime, based on Maxicrop's fast and detail responses and the immediate improvement in some of my plants, I'll give this five stars.

This makes plants thrive and helps during low rain conditions

This stuff is actually really amazing. I got it not expecting much but needing to try something new to convince my struggling plants to grow. My plants were alive, but none of them were showing any new growth at all, and it was well past the point where they should have. Even the plants known to be "vigorous growers" weren't growing at all. I definitely did NOT expect a miracle when I applied this, but that's basically what I got. Within 48 hours, all my plants were perkier and greener. I had a lonicera ground cover that had been so pitiful, so dark and limp and lying so flat on the ground that the person who helps me weed had to put a ring of pinecones around it so that he would remember it was there and not step on it. Two days after applying the seaweed extract, it was sitting up and getting brighter green. Today, after several weeks of using it, the plant is sprawling around, massive growth everywhere. It's legitimately lush. I had a lapageria rosea cutting that had been dug up by a squirrel, all the leaves chewed off by slugs and I thought it was dead. Seriously, I thought it was DEAD. I decided to water it in with this anyway, and I'm glad I did. It now has several new leaves. It's not a vigorous grower to begin with, so I don't expect it to shoot up, but even when it was properly alive (pre squirrel attack) it wasn't growing any new leaves at all. Now it is! I wish I had bought this at the beginning of spring instead of the middle of summer. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing my garden would be right now. Now I know, though! Next year things will get this from the start. I've also been using this on seedlings with a lot of success. I had some fuchsia arborescens seedlings that had received too much heat and were dying. Some died before I thought to try to save them with this, but once I remembered, I was able to save the rest of them. It took a month or so of making sure I kept a good eye on them and if they started to look like they were dying again I would re-apply this stuff. They'd start to revive within 24 hours. After a while, they finally stopped trying to die on me and are growing again. :) Now I'm adding it to my bee waterer to see if I can convince bees to visit their waterer instead of hanging out at my pond. I'm also hoping it will attract butterflies to the waterer. (It's a bird bath filled with rocks, some of the rocks stick out of the water so bees and butterflies can sit on the warm rocks, nom on the minerals and get a LITTLE bit of water, it's very shallow so they don't drown.) If I see more butterflies puddling, I'll report back. I am hesitant to add salt to it because it's situated in my garden and I don't want to add any unnecessary salt. I'm hoping the seaweed extract will provide enough minerals to satisfy puddling butterflies.

Great, natural food for plants and I saw results in a few short weeks. If you use some of the blue powder feed so many use on your houseplants you are doing them an injustice. After a few months you will notice yellowing and lackluster growth, that is because you are adding a lot of salts to you soil. Mix 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water and run through soil a few times to rinse out the salts (best to do this outside) use a natural product like "Liquid Seaweed" and you won't be sorry. The only negative is this product 1 oz. to a gallon water is very, very dark so you should be careful not to spill any on carpet, etc. other than this it is great.

Great price, works well

Watched Gardener’s World, and noted that all the hosts used it both indoors and outdoors. I tried it, and the health of my plants was almost immediately improved. Seaweed has historically been used as a fertilizer. Per ounce after mixing, it’s very inexpensive to use.

This product so nice for new people they start to plant vegetables outdoors, if you don’t know how to use that product allows use less than what was written on back, u can give to help ur plants grow up fast Its so easy to use and safe for ur plants grow

I started using this by recommendation from David Austin after having problems with one of my Olivia Rose Austins. It works amazing! I saw new growth within a couple days, no exaggeration. It helps with transplant shock on new transplants and as I was told helps "spindly plants" with cell wall growth. Not just for my roses but my Rose of Sharon is notoriously late to break dormancy where I live, and it's actually leafing out in late April! I use it consistently now with fish fertilizer and another product for blooms. What a difference. Great product!

Very good

Plants love this. Use it youll see. Its amazing stuff. Can't burn either. Just try it. Its cheap and its SOOOo much effective.

I seen great results with this in soil and hydroponics..don't grow without this tonic!

Plants love it

It`s a great price for this product, however I was really disappointed that there aren`t any watering directions.
