Thank you Brooks:)
I appreciate your repost:) You are an amazing font
of knowledge and information. Hugs and kisses for
you:) I have so many emails in my CS Folder that
sometimes it's hard to backtrack to the right
email. I guess I'm going to have to organize my CS
mail folder by the subject of the body text. And
that's going to be a job and a half. I have over
8,000 emails saved! I refuse to delete them.
Information is a valuable resource:)

Dear Annie,
I believe it was, probably, me who posted the information relating to
the dosage
volumes (of kelp and lecithin). Actually, the most acceptable (for a
majority of our volunteers) method proved to be....placing one rounded
teaspoon of lecithin in the mouth and adding enough water (about one
tablespoon) and swishing sufficiently to make a slurry; next, adding one
rounded teaspoon of granulated kelp....followed by just enough added
water to re-establish the slurry consistency. Next, just wash it all
down as you, continuously dilute with additional water. Repeat the
procedure a second time....for an adequate amount for the average adult.
Although it sounds complicated....it is not.
What this method gains one is that it, essentially, eliminates any
problem that would emanate from sensitive persons (pronounced gag
reflex) attempting to swallow "dry" granulated kelp. The lecithin does
an excellent job emulsifying the entire mixture and
negates the "hygroscopic" (water-loving) character of the granulated kelp.
By far the greatest benefit from this, particular, procedure is.....it
allows the ingestion of sufficient volume of kelp---at one time---to
meet ones overall daily requirements, without considerably more
elaborate techniques (e.g. it would require more than 12 standard 50 mg
tablets to yield an equal amount of kelp). Additionally, the quality of
the granulated kelp is MUCH higher than the highly-compressed, powdered,
product used in making the tablets.
The lecithin was "granulated" in nature and was a derivative of soy. Any
health-food or natural/health food store will carry granulated lecithin.
If you are
constrained by potential costs....Puritan's Pride supplement company is
considerably less expensive than most others....but their product is
not, necessarily, superior in any way. At least, that has been our
experience.
As related to using kelp as a garden amendment. We have, over the
immediately-past 30 years....utilized liquid seaweed (kelp)as a standard
foliage spray. Mixed at the standard recommendations (on the label) we
have experienced simply, SPLENDID, results on all of our vegetables,
fruit and nut trees-----EVERY year, even in drought years. One of the
most convenient forms in which to obtain a very useful product is to
purchase the SOLUBLE POWDER form. There are several different
producers.....the most consistent quality---for us---appeared to be
MAXICROP Powder.
A 16 ounce container will yield about 240 gallons of spray.
Additionally, we always add 3.5% hydrogen peroxide at about 3
tablespoons per gallon of spray mix. If we are foliar feeding for growth
stimulation, we add some form of fish emulsion (strained/filtered before
incorporation)). This simple amendment to our general
garden protocols has demonstrated to be the KEY ELEMENT in our success.
Our neighbors
have commented...over the years, that we raise the most delicious
peaches they have EVER tasted. And these folks are ACCOMPLISHED organic
gardeners from the Biodynamic
(Rudolph Steiner) School. I am convinced our foliar spraying protocol is
the BIG difference between acceptable and OUTSTANDING.
My apologies for such an extended post....but I have rather pronounced,
visceral, positive feelings about the splendid effects of liquid seaweed
amendments
applied in spray form....and felt compelled proselytize toward
converting others.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
p.s. We foliage spray every two weeks during the growing season
(starting just before bloom....for the fruit trees). However, we DO NOT
spray the fruit trees, again, until
l all the blooms have either dropped or formed fruit.

Well, I just ordered my Thorvin Kelp, I got the 8
lb bag. At 20.00 and odd change. With that much
bulk, we plan on adding it to smoothies for the
entire family every day. Cheap nutritional
insurance for everybody. I'll order a bigger bag
closer to Springtime I reckon when we figure out
how big the garden is gonna be, and how much we'll
need to use.
I do have one question. LOL, who was it that mixed
the kelp with Lecithin to swallow it? And what
kind; was it powder or oil, or whatever? I've read
so may emails since I read that one that I don't
remember anything except the tablespoon of Kelp
with a tablespoon of Lecithin? Or I think I
remember reading that in an email on this list:)
I've been reading so much in so many different
places I might have read it elsewhere:/
I'm saving to buy a bigger CS generator too. I
want a Silver Puppy:) But that might be a couple
of months off. We'll see.
Has anyone tried mixing CS with their foliar
sprays for plants in their garden? What were the
results?
Annie
