Alga 600

See http://www.travena.co.uk/alga600.htm

Living in the UK we have a very different range of products available to us. What do you think of this for foliar fertilisation? Is that Na a bit high? How does that level compare with the seaweed product you use?

That is a very wide range of potential analysis. This stuff wouldn't be legal on the shelves here in CT. The State Agriculture Dept requires a more consistent guaranteed analysis. This stuff would be exempt from registration except for the potash which is high enough to require label registration.

Other than that....if the "range" was fixed in the middle & held there, this would make nice fertilizer.
