Where can the concentrated sea water be purchased? Do you recommend a particular company/brand? I’m very much interested.

I’ve been experimenting with azomite and kelp meal for micronutrients. Good stuff.

Haha, definitely. Although they actually concentrate the sea water down many times, and often remove most of the sodium chloride, too. So instead of having to transport many gallons of sea water yourself, you can just buy 1 gallon of the concentrated stuff and use it for a long time.

Selling sea water! LOL! Now that’s a great racket. Low cost, endless free/cheap supply.

Yes, it would be great. Don’t use too much of course, but a little is wonderful.

Doesn’t the salt cause harm to the plants and the soil web?
I have used all of my used water from my fresh water aquariums in the garden, but I have always been worried about using the marine water due to the high salt levels.
Would the water from a marine reef aquarium be ok on food crops?

I think that if you would suggest to add ocean water to every garden of the world, you ought to also address the consequences of doing so. If nature split salty waters from earth, there must be quite a valid reason. Even if not used often, it does add up after a while.
I am on the same side with Nature to keep salt away from my garden. Now how or where else could I get add minerals, naturally?

Haha, it’s easier to go with the same shirt every video than having to think about it. Kind of like school uniforms, which I never wore, but always thought was an okay idea. Mostly I do it because I film hundreds of videos for my online gardening course, and it’s just easier this way.

Sorry, I’m not sure about the U.K., but you’re surrounded by fish and sea water, so I would think someone would be doing something about it.

Jus remember to be careful where you souce your ocean water from – to avoid pollutants. Much of the oceans near land are now, dasly, horribly polluted, and many of these pollutants will affect the growth of plants, and/or be taken up by the plants – and consumed by you.

The amount of straight ocean water you would have to ship would be too expensive. It’s okay for people who live there to haul a bunch of buckets, but for all of us inland, it’s less expensive to buy the concentrated stuff.

Does anybody have access to just simply straight ocean water, somebody living near the ocean like in Vancouver?

Years ago I read that one of the ancient Central or South American tribes experimented with using a percentage of seawater mixed with freshwater to irrigate thier crops.
Even though I first read about this sea minerals 5+ years ago, I still have not tried the stuff. I have been using rock dusts for years though and I have a 35 year old 900 page organic gardening book that stresses the importance of rock dusts and multch for a successful organic garden.

Sea-Crop is so much more than sea solids.I used it last year with great results.

i dont know how much that seacrop water cost but i would think that a cheaper solution would be to buy unrefined seasalt in bulk and dilute it in water, but its probably just cheaper to buy that stuff. peace
