You are probably right. But there is lots of algae in the water!

I checked into the possibility of picking up from them as well, but they are not permitted to sell directly from their location. Typically these are restrictions some businesses have to agree to when getting all their permits to operate. I have another company I buy from regularly that's located 20 miles from me and they are under similar restrictions. If I want their products, I have to pay to have them shipped to me!
Last year I finally decided to just go ahead and buy a gallon jug as it was cheaper than buying the small bottles. Quote:

Was just teasing you anyway. I know my poor man's solution to kelp and sea weed concoctions isn't the same. But I like my solution. Lets me put a good use to the water when I clean the tank! And if you don't tell my tomatoes it isn't the real stuff, I won't either! I have them thoroughly convinced they are being babied by the best high tech organic fertilizers available!

Just picked up another quart of NH fish/seaweed last weekend!! ready for the year. Hmm, purchasing a gallon would be alot more economical @ $33. does this stuff go bad?

I bury fish guts, heads, and carcasses in the garden. I've never had a problem with animals (knock on wood). The tomatoes seem to love it. I wonder if the commercial product is all that different.
Of course, a visitor would be mighty confused by the 5-gallon buckets of filleted flounder that my neighbor occasionally leaves on the porch... |

Nativeplanter, its my understanding that the Native American's also did this to fertilize the soil. I have raccoons and would not do this. they have a good enough time digging through my beds for the worms in the soil. Imagine if I buried fish guts So I have a 50" trap sitting in my living room waiting for a retrofit this afternoon. |
