Re: Fresh water seaweed
Andy
Yes, you are on to something. Using "ALGAE" is great the thing you have to
remember is to break it down well in the soil. Your comparison with kelp
though is OK because they are both algae but like with salmon and steelhead
they grow much much faster in the ocean then the same fish in a land locked
lake. The ocean is like a "BIG WET TEXAS" everything grows BIGGER there.
Nutritionists agree that fish from the ocean has different vitamins and amino
acids than there fresh water counterparts...quick question does fish emulsion
come from fresh or salt water fish? OK back to the subject. the only thing I
can lend you in advice is to conceder that the oceans of the world are the
reserves for the worlds water supply and almost all rivers and streams flow
into an ocean. So they also collect all the salts and contaminants. Your
pond(?) probably is OK but could collect excess fertilizers etc.
So please take that into consideration....
If I had a good supply I would take as much as possible and put it into the
garden.
UGH AND YES THAT COMES FROM A MAN THAT'S WIFE TOOK AWAY HIS TRUCK AFTER HE
HAULED 33 TRUCK LOADS OF GRASS CLIPPINGS, 12 TRUCK LOADS OF KELP, 12 TRUCK
LOADS OF FINELY CHOPPED LEAVES, FOUR TRUCK LOADS OF MANURE, 3 TRUCK LOADS OF
"MYSTERY MIX" AND APPROXIMATELY FIVE TRUCK LOADS OF MISCELLANEOUS ORGANIC
DEBRIS.
FOR MY 1200 SQUARE FOOT GARDEN.....MAN I MISS MY TRUCK.........
TAKE CARE ALL....
