Seaweed Fertilizer for Fast Growth

If you live near a coastal area, let your nose guide you to a natural fertilizer that will help your plants thrive and enrich your soil. Seaweed can help you achieve a verdant garden. Collect natural seaweed in buckets and use it in your garden by layering it on soil. If you do not live on the coast, order seaweed fertilizer products for your garden bed.
  1. Natural Seaweed

    • Layer natural seaweed or kelp in layers that are as shallow as 2 inches to as deep as 4 inches by piling them directly on your garden bed soil. Seaweed decomposes quickly due to the sea plant's small amount of cellulose, so your soil will enjoy a nutrient-rich treat more quickly that it would if you waited for your compost pile to produce organic matter.

    Liquid Seaweed

    • Purchase liquid seaweed from an online vendor. Liquid seaweed combines the nutrients of seaweed with other ingredients. Mix the liquid seaweed with water and spray it on plants every three to four days to promote growth.

    Kelp Meal

    • Purchase kelp meal from an online vendor and mix it with soil in your garden bed according to package instructions. This product provides a rich fertilizer that will promote the growth of roots and add extra nutrients to the soil to encourage a healthy, vital micro-organism environment within the soil.

    All-Purpose Seaweed Fertilizers

    • Purchase an all-purpose seaweed fertilizer if you want to give your plants a boost and you are already using a main fertilizer. In this case, the all-purpose seaweed fertilizer acts as a supplement to your fertilizer base.
