How does Seaweed benefit the plants?
In animals, seaweed acts as a catalyst to enable the digestive tract to extract nutrients from the food supply. The same thing happens when we apply seaweed to the soil. It acts as a chelating agent to help plants glean minerals for an adequate diet. Seaweed supplies minute quantities of trace elements in a readily usable form to plant and animal digestive systems. You can apply the seaweed directly to the soil in meal form, or you can supply it through the chicken’s digestive tract. Add the remainder by several foliar spray feedings scheduled about one week apart early in the season.
