The Source---- the Best Veggie Fertilizer I Have Ever Used

http://www.smartpakequine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassid=93

The Source is a horse supplement. It is dried and ground blue-green algae.
From their website:

SOURCE contains an extremely broad spectrum of at least 60 elements and their associated micronutrient compounds in a biologically active form. SOURCE contains small amounts of naturally occurring vitamins (14), the 14 currently recognized "essential trace elements", the 21 trace elements now under special consideration with respect to essentiality, plus other unidentified associative factors whose role in nutrition has not yet been established.

SOURCE contains a proprietary blend of Pure Dehydrated Seaweed Meals...and nothing else! All-natural, concentrated herbs of the ocean.

It is marketed as a horse supplement but is an AMAZING fertilizer. I put one small scoop mixed with the soil for each tomato, and then feed the plant about once a month. It is the only fertilizer I use, and my tomatoes jump out of the ground. When my friends' plants are about 2 feet high, mine are chest high. I get more tomatoes than I can eat, and canned 12 jars last year off of 9 plants. It is good for every veggie I have used it one, I haven't found a down side. No burning, all organic. Just wanted to share.

and 5 lbs. is $7.85? Is that accurate?

I can't believe how cheap it is online. I have to pay $40 for a 5 lb. bucket at the Horse store.

about 5 cents per application.

If you live near the ocean, though, you can pick up all the seaweed you like for free. I sometimes put it in the compost.

14oz. = $7.95

5 lb. bucket is $25.95.

Should be delivered tomorrow. I'll let you know how it works in my garden.
Thanks for the tip.

I've heard seaweed is a good fertilizer and this seems like a more economical way to get it as compared to some of the $10-a-pint brands I've seen at my local nursery.

What ratio of water-to-Source do you use when mixing up a batch? (or do you side-dress it into the soil every month?)

I have mixed it in a watering pail before, and just water the plants proportionally.

Can't wait to try it!

Our county farm agent recommended it this spring.The beds i used it in germinated faster and are doing better than the beds without it.

Everything looks fantastic!

I'm thinking of ordering some and using on my vegetable garden and maybe even my grass and flower gardens. Since it's close to the end of season, I was thinking it may be good to even use prior to the first winter snows to replenish the soil before spring.

Thoughts?
