seaweed benefits
Seaweed is packed with essential nutrients, including nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and various trace minerals. Seaweed compost provides these nutrients in a form that is readily available to plants, promoting healthy growth and development.
Nutrient-rich
Seaweed compost adds organic matter to the soil, improving soil structure, increasing water retention, and enhancing nutrient-holding capacity. This fosters a healthy soil environment which is ideal for beneficial microorganisms and plant roots.
Organic matter addition
Seaweed compost is a sustainable bio-stimulant because it is derived from a renewable resource - seaweed harvested from the ocean. Its production typically has next to no environmental impact compared to synthetic bio stimulants, which can contribute to pollution and soil degradation.

The benefits of seaweed for your garden
Seaweed is a superfood for your garden. Something traditional gardeners have known for generations.
Our seaweed-enriched products are free from any nasties, and contains only two ingredients. 80% leaves, stems, grass cuttings and sticks from the Scottish lowlands, 20% seaweed from the Scottish coastline.
We shred and compost these two natural ingredients before forming composting windrows, which are turned periodically to aerate for a period of 180 days.
Simple. Seaweed-enriched superfood for your garden.
Seaweed compost contains natural compounds that can help plants tolerate environmental stressors such as drought, heat, cold, and disease. It enhances plant resilience and promotes healthier, more robust growth.
Stress tolerance
Seaweed compost as a liming alternative can help buffer soil pH, making it more stable and conducive to optimal plant growth. This is especially beneficial in acidic soils where pH fluctuations can affect nutrient availability.
pH buffering
Regular use of seaweed compost can improve the quality of crops by enhancing flavour, nutrient content, and shelf life. It can also lead to increased yields and improved flowering and fruiting.
