Veritas629 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Good to know. I apologize to mess with this thread but I saw your name Veritas and thought you should know what's out there with your name on it..... Not trying to be smart, I saw this the other day and had to screenshot for you to see I don't think it's for organic growing....I wish I had a tractor that mowed grass into $100 bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbcon Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I know right! Anyway, it caught my eye. Apologies for the diversion back to kelp..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug1010 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Kelp is an algae, rather than a vascular plant. Thus, it does not die when broken loose from the seafloor. If we uproot our cannabis, we damage the roots and bad things happen. Algae has no roots, just hold fast structures to keep it in place. Freshly washed up beach algae I would expect to be very similar to forest kelp in relation to nutrients. Its still alive until the sun dries it out. +1 thx mate ... good to know Good to know.

NakedMonk Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 @Vertitas, its funny you mention that it's an algea and not a plant. My old mind has had a blank moment from my Marine biology courses in high school. I knew this, but completely deleted that information, probably still thinking about Robyn sitting two seats in front of me....ohhh the times. And after some more reading, I have found confirmation that the Bull Kelp is only gathered from shores after it breaks from tidal changes, also it can only be collected/harvested by those that have a license to do so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet little beach creatures use it for something. Maybe crabs eat it, or live in it, or something like that. But I'm thinking a couple buckets worth for our good cause wouldn't hurt anything. Not that anyone on this forum would even consider skirting the law [emoji1] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbcon Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Ahh I reckon if you lived close like my buddy and this happened when the seas got rough I don't think some would go a miss.....? Most likely have to be cleared for good weather and people wanna go to beach like they do. Yours is a nice idea though, creating new habitats and all that but your probably living in a house that was a natural habitat once too..... Etc etc. It's supposed to grow in water anyway I'm guessing? Edited September 14, 2019 by Carbcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas629 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Completely agree Carb. I walked my dog at the beach today, enough kelp there on this random day to supply everybody on this forum for a decade! Us tiny scale farmers are no worries. I was just thinking about Big Ag, they often overdo things and make short sighted decisions. I might have lead us off topic. Everybody go to the beach, smoke a doobie, swim, check out the chicks, and bring home some nice free fertilizer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbcon Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I'm hearing you. I'm guessing the companies harvesting are all compliant and all that but they are still harvesting from the earth I guess. My buddy was saying they used to just steep it in water until it dissolved. He didn't rinse or anything. I mentioned maybe rinse but chuck it on compost heap too. I'd be sheet mulching with it if I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
