Best Organic Sea Fertilizer that You Can Eat!

[@MIgardener]

Hey, you definitely cannot refute what is being said here. The more nutrient dense your soil is, the more nutrient dense your plants are, and the more nutrient dense your food is! Thanks John, I have used rock dust and azomite for 2 years, and the results are not a joke!

[@elijah9822]

Thanks for the input!

[@MIgardener]

Permaculture Prepper well lets put it this way, It is certainly not hurting anything. I love it, and have had great success with it.

[@timrobinson6111]

Permaculture Prepper You are basing your statements on the testing of 2 people. The test results of 2 people that at this point. I am not even convinced are serious about the real results, is not the end all conclusion. They only add small amounts of the additives to their test plots. And most importantly they are not doing a combined rock dust / Biochar bed to get the results of that combination. Watch for my pictures next year. I will be doing an AZOMITE & 20 % Biochar mix using 3 different plants. Tomato, Bell pepper & Ground Cherry in 10 gal. containers. You should not question John's suggestions unless you are ready to prove him wrong. And you are not ready. He has been doing it for too long, and he bases his opinion about trace minerals on scientific test lab results. If you were paying attention, he said that the AZOMITE has to be broken down by the microbes before it is available to the plants which takes time. And that is why Sea 90 is a good product because it is water soluble and available for use to your plants immediately. He may not be soft spoken and all warm and fuzzy, but he know how to garden and that is all that matters to me.

[@timrobinson6111]

Until you are ready to try it yourself your comments are useless. I use AZOMITE and Sea 90 and it works. Hands on testing by myself. And I don't know what is in the minerals in the rock dust from some other country. I live in America and like Luke said it works. And anyone that knows anything about rock dust knows that it has to be broken down by the microbes before it is available to the plants. That is why Sea 90 can be so beneficial the first few years into a new garden until the soils microbial population has had time to ingest and breakdown all of the elements in the rock dust. Where do you think people got all of the essential vitamins and minerals before One A Day vitamins came along. It was from nutrient dense food grown in good soil that has had the same minerals in it that some of us are trying to put back into it.

[@timrobinson6111]

I have 7 worm bins and a rabbit that visits my yard on a regular basis because I put out food for it. And I get droppings in return. You are only scratching the surface with your soil mix. I will be sure to show the results you can get next season when you don't penny pinch and give your soil all that it needs. And I do it all in containers, so they will be doing well because of what I put in the soil. Trust me your garden needs more. And for the record mycorrhizae are a beneficial soil fungus not bacteria. Do you watch these videos with the sound off. You still have lots to learn. Get over yourself and stop questioning John with his 5 1/2 foot pepper plants.

[@jbreefer148]

I've been using sea-90 in my hydroponic tomato garden for over 8 years, and the results were amazing. Now I'm using this salt in my saltwater aquarium to provide my fish and corals the seawater they lived in for millennia.

[@tarinewton7296]

Awesome video and I couldn't agree more. We only use organic fertilizers on the farm, one being fish emulsion and it does an amazing job. I also love to use rock dust and wish they sold it locally at a good price so I try to only use that for my raised beds and potted veggies. Thanks and have an awesome weekend

[@AlbertaUrbanGarden]

Interesting points about soil additives and such. We are actually doing comparative trials with rock dust and Biochar to see what is going on in the soil and veggies. To get a better understanding I have also sent samples into a lab to be analyzed. Like you said test it out yourself !

where could i buy SEA-90 in australia? i've been experimenting with seawater collected from the beach (10L) on my lawn and vegetables. I just grab a bucket full when i take the dog to the beach LOL and the results of the beach water application are incredible. i use a 1:9 mixture with chlorine free water on the veggie patch either by using my watering can ( 1L of beach water to 9L of filtered water) or for foliar spray application, in a hand held spray bottle, (100ml beach water to 900 ml filtered water) on anything thats plant related. i also use beach water on my lawn (in one of those empty weed and feed spray bottles (2L) and jesus you can see the benefits within days. beach water has far more nitrogen and is readily more accessible for plants/lawns to take up through their roots/foliage. we noticed how green our veggies and lawn become after the application. i have been doing this for the last 4 weeks and i am convinced. i apply beach water on a weekly basis ( thank god for google calendar to remind me) along with compost tea.

[@pro-methean4121]

The fresher the better right ? Keep taking water from the beach , you might want to get some aquarium charcoal to remove the toxins

Thanks for the details. I have used this to feed plants and soil and see an amazing difference in quality and vitality. I think I will try adding a small amount to the water I offer my wild birds once a week. Any reason not to? FYI, "foliar" feeding is pronounced: FOH-lee-er.

[@SpankyMcNuttly7624]

Is there anything in Sea-90 that is not also found in kelp meal?

[@rbw8371]

Just bought Sea-90 livestock salt and have used it in my pond. It's the same chemical composition as the Sea-90 sea salt for aquariums but at a lower cost (I paid $35 for a 50lb bag at my local livestock store) as it is less refined (cleaned/washed) and is coarser grade. The Sea-90 mineral salt fertilizer is the same thing as well as the food-grade Sea-90. Just a matter of having a certain quality grade for the intended use. I have brackish fish. Te Sea-90 livestock salt has made my fish colors pop and has not resulted in aquatic plant death as some of my other aquarium marine salts have caused due to a higher concentration of sodium chloride.

[@freewaybaby]

If someone can tell me this, thank you for your response. I have all the Boogie Brew stuff, but have put off using the Sea-90 because of the salt. I have raised beds since we have awful clay soil and the ground level soil is probably saturated with salts because our public water supply contains a lot of sodium. Last year and this, I amended the raised beds with Azomite, but want to know about using the Sea-90 because I don't want to add to the sodium concentration; can continue using Azomite, if that would be better in the situation I have. I do use rain water, as long as my barrels hold during summer, but after they're empty, I'm using the end hose filter, but this doesn't remove the city water sodium, so just wondered about this. Thanks for any clarification.

[@enzyme20056]

Isn't salting the soil something you do to your enemies garden. I've always been cautious about the salt content in my soils. This trace mineral product is just that, a tiny amount of minor metals and metalloids dominated by a large amount of sodium chloride.

[@mmccrownus2406]

Wrong. Soils are deficient in sodium.

[@danjf1]

As an Organic farmer im of course worried about salts in my LIVE SOIL and have some concerns about it. Got a 10 lb bag of it for the new growing season and had been planning on using this as one of my remineralization inputs. From one source it states that 77% of the sea-90 crystal is sodium and chloride. Which I think even newer organic gardeners know salt (in certain amounts; and this seems like THAT amount) your gonna lockup nutrients and kill off much of your beneficial microorganisms/fungi. So, in people's experience is anyone seeing bad effects with this product? I'd rather throw away my 10 lb bag than put in something that will destroy my hard work (and $$) of building up the soil to have it become either useless or lower yields, flavor, etc. Thanks!

[@freewaybaby]

danjf1 I originally asked the same thing about 3 years ago on this video, but still don't know, so my bag of Sea 90 is basically a rock now, as it's been sitting in the garage all this time. Like you, I've always tried to limit the sodium build up in my gardening efforts; our city water has very high sodium and the hose end filters apparently do NOT filter it out. My gardening (5 years now) has been a journey of futility so far as there is obviously SOMEthing lacking (or too much of) in the soil...the plants live but do not thrive or produce well. If you did use the Sea 90, did it work out well for you?

[@elijah9822]

Also, John, please don't say things like, "I don't like reading too much," while encouraging people to buy products instead of reading. Trying products is great, but a 100 page book contains way more knowledge than does a bag of Boogie Brew or whatever other product you're exploring. Reading allows you to learn things that you don't even know you didn't know. I mentioned this in a video you posted years ago when you suggested that people practice gardening at home instead of going to college or university for horticulture or botany. I respect that you encourage people to practice gardening, but please stop discouraging people from educating themselves and broadening their horizons. This is the last thing I would want to hear from my role model and it's seriously becoming aggravating. It's no wonder you sound like a broken record-read a book.

[@timrobinson6111]

There are a lot of lies out there in print, so choose your books wisely. How about the way farmers have been taught to grow with salt based fertilizers for the past 50 years by Agricultural schools. That was real good book learnin'. I have been an electrician for 34 years next week. And the books taught me about 2% of what I know compared to hands on training that I picked up by doing. Books are good to an extent in some cases. Because for every Organic gardening book out there, I bet there are at least 20 that say the complete opposite. Get your hands dirty and stop waiting for someone to right his or her opinion about it in a book. John says all the time that he is just presenting you with the options and it is up to you to decide if it is right for you. And no the 100 page book does not compare to real time results that you can see with your own eyes from your own garden by trying Boogie Brew yourself. Pull your head out of that book and get outside once in awhile.

[@karlaharrington1]

I think Elijah's point is that since John is, and is becoming even more of, a role model for all kinds of people out there, he might want to rethink the impression he could be having on young people who still have some important decisions to make that will greatly affect the future (theirs and ours). We all need to remember that you can't unring a bell. Once something comes out of your mouth, you can't put it back in. No matter how hard you try to change the consequences of your words, you can never really take them back. EVERYBODY needs to be aware of that. It seems obvious that John works so hard on all these videos in order to remove ignorance from our society. Maybe he'll read this and give his words some more thought in the future, or maybe he won't. The point is that OVERALL he's doing a helluva job educating people and he's been doing it for quite some time (if I understand the yt dates correctly). He's one of the best gardening teachers on yt, IMO, and knows how to hold onto an audience. That's important, because you can't teach anything if no one is willing to listen. John's never going to be perfect or be able to please everyone no matter how hard he might try. Maybe we should try to keep his comments in perspective and not take all of them so seriously. Pretty sure John has read a thing or two and he does promote books quite often according to what I've seen so far. Like a previous comment said, the next time you get a chance please let us know how to find your channel so we can see how you think the videos should be done. Unless you've already done better yourself, being negative and critical of someone else just makes you look bad. Perspective. Let's cut the boy some slack and keep our standards reasonable. He didn't ask to be anyone's role model afterall. Did he? (I haven't watched all the videos yet.)

[@tootz1950]

quietlysecure I agreed with everything you said up to the point where you (and so many others) say 'you can't criticize unless you have made a video doing the same thing.' That is just ignorance. I've never been president of anything, made a record, designed clothes, made anything in a laboratory, or made any discoveries in any field. Yet I feel I have the right to express opinions and if my opinion is I think that is an awful color that someone used on their house, even though I've never painted one, I should be able to say it without the consequence of someone telling me I have no right.

[@timrobinson6111]

Michael McMillan Did I say "don't read", or did I say "choose your books wisely". I read all the time and own not only 1 but 2 Kindle Fires with a Prime subscription to Amazon. But that does not mean that I don't learn a lot more by actually getting out there and getting my hands dirty. Some of you people need to stop acting like John is some holy figure that is going to bring down the destruction of man because he doesn't fit into your molds. He is just some guy that is very charismatic, and I think that bothers some of the (smaller men out there). He is a garden geek that loves people. Love him back and stop all of the bitter words of hate.

[@timrobinson6111]

tootz1950 You have the right to say it. But, if you don't have a better garden with bigger plants. Then you should not criticize someone that is as successful as John is. I personally think a lot of the haters that watch this channel are just jealous of John. When I am on a channel that I no longer agree with the practices of that channel I unsubscribe. And I did it twice just last week. You make a statement if you feel the need, and then you just go away and let those that enjoy the content of that channel be happy. It really is that simple.

Its genetic in my family. We don't have a family history of aids, and my parents raised me on an organic diet rich in fruit and vegetables. The structure of my brain is wired up a bit differently, look at some scans of an ADHD brain and compare it to a brain that doesn't have ADHD, you'll see the difference's. Of course healthy food helps with the symptoms of ADHD allot, but it has its limits. Same goes for drugs. I used to take Ritalin as reccomended by my doctor but ive found that a proper diet, exercise and sleep has been more beneficial for my inability to concentrate. Sadly I can't say the same for my anxiety which is why I take Prozac.
