I have used the liquid seaweed and it works great. I use it and molassas mixed about 1.5 oz each to a gallon of water as starter soak for seeds, water for seedlings, and foliar spray, especially on the tomatoes. It stops spider mites on tomatoes from every showing up.

I also use it to feed my compost pile and it makes my compost work about 6 times faster than normal. So what would normally take a year to compost, breaks down in a couple of months.

My understanding is that it is actually food for beneficial bacteria and other little squigly wigglies that makes plants happy and makes compost break down faster.

JR— after the seaweed tea is done I will compost whatever residue remains. I’ll have to get some molasses so thanks for that tip. Currently I’ve mixed in some used coffee grinds in the seaweed tea bucket. Feeling like a mad, organic biologist lately but without the liberal lunacy of mother earth worship. (’
