Speedy-Gro

ZBQ · March 28, 2007

I just picked up some plant growth stimulant called Speedy-Gro. Made by Liquid Fence Co. It lists the ingredients as Fresh Organic Kelp Seaweed (Ecklonia maxima).

Has anyone used this stuff and if you did, what did you think of it?

Thanks

I use another similar product, called Maxicrop. Its ingredient is another species of alguae. Kelp is fantastic as a foliar spray, the taste of your veggies will improve greatly, and the tomatoes should stand the first few LIGHT frosts, because the chemical formula of the growth hormone in it is akin to alcool, hence freeze protection.

However, i always buy the powdered form, you get much much more for your money. You are actually paying for water when you buy kelp in liquid form.

An 8 once can of pwdered see weeds makes many hundreds of gallons of spray for $15. A lot of people are partial to 1 brand, including me, MAXICROP.I get it from BOUNTIFUL GARDENS, of Willits, CA

I use Maxicrop in every foiliar application that I make and it is also a great root drench.
