What is unique about the nutrient content of KELP FIBER?
KELP FIBER is used as a bulk soil amendment and not as a fertilizer per se, so that even though the percentages of the various nutrients are low, the actual amounts added to the soil are comparable to those supplied by premium grade pre-plant fertilizers that are usually recommended in conjunction with traditional bulk soil amendments such as ground bark or wood shavings. If given an NPK rating, KELP FIBER would rate at 1.7 · 0.5 · 0.2, but at the rate of five cubic yards per 1000 square feet, you would be adding over 2000 lbs (dry weight) per 1000 sq. ft. KELP FIBER is also rich in micronutrients which are not usually found in chemical pre-plant fertilizers. The spectacular results enjoyed by growers all over San Diego County are largely due to the micronutrient content of KELP FIBER.
