So what option would you recommend if you have used kelp and/or fish
1. Use Kelp + fish. It does work wonders!
2. Use just kelp. Its probably as good as kelp + fish and does do wonders.
3. Save your money, its not going to make big change! (I am close to blowing off my budget for this year's garden, so I like this one )

I was looking at this kelp4less product
https://www.kelp4less.com/shop/liqui...ed-fertilizer/
It seems cheap, but don't know if kelp extract is same everywhere or the costlier brands (neptune etc) are actually better ..

Thanks
I usually use kelp/fish mixed. The kelp is amazing stuff and the fish adds some fast nutrition when needed.
I got a flush of blooms a few days after using it a week ago. I also noticed on a plant uprooted by goats, that the soil is much darker and more crumbly than the sand I planted it in a few weeks ago. It's a amazing mixture!
