Dear Annie,
I believe your opportunity to obtain fresh fish scraps/offal to be absolutely PRICELESS. You have the opportunity to make a compost superior to ANYTHING you can purchase on the commercial market.
As a matter of fact, I am told that Mr. Carlson does, indeed, use a kelp component in his Sonic Bloom protocol.
Sincerely, Brooks.

Oh my!



About the fishy stuff for the garden. I was

considering going down to the docks to ask for

fish scraps since I don't live very far from where

the fishing boats come in. And we have a huge

fresh seafood place right next to the docks. If I

get the fish scraps and put them in a barrel with

some soil and let them decompose. Would the

resultant soil make a decent adjunct to the kelp

for my veggie garden?



I've wondered if it is kelp that Dan Carlson uses

in his Sonic Bloom foliar spray mixture?
