MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS – EFFORTS TO RETRIEVE THE LOSS (PART 2)
It was found that the plants not only grew better, but were healthier because of the addition of seaweed meal. Subsequent experiments with vegetables, fruit and berries provided good results. Mildew, fungi, scab and even pests such as greenfly were said to have disappeared when the plants were dusted with seaweed meal. It was therefore not only good for the improvement of the soil, but had the additional benefit of serving as a plant remedy, so to speak. While kelp is rich in iodine, the iodine content of the seaweed preparation ‘Lithothamne Calmagol’ is low, although the latter is rich in easily dissolved calcium.
Professor Boucher claims that one region in France escaped an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease because the farmers treated their land with seaweed meal. Since these reports come from a reliable source, one can rightly expect them to be true. It can therefore be assumed that seaweed is good not only for fertilising and improving the soil, but also for regenerating exhausted, sick soil. It would be worthwhile if more farmers and gardeners made their contribution to improving the soil by adopting the use of seaweed.
