[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4353046, member: 63856"] That's what I have here, by UK standards it's old pasture. None of that 3 year stuff anyway! Seaweed contains lots of stuff Pete, but very high in natural gibberellins, calcium (obviously) and selenium. I think it contains just about a full complement of amino acids plus just about every other trace element, it seems to make older pasture a hell of a lot more productive anyway. Claimed benefits for stock, other than the obvious drop in other animal health costs, are said to be buffering the rumen (y) and also reductions in methane output (don't know) but I wouldn't p!ss around with it if I didn't see it workin for me. Basically it just feeds the soil biology and helps balance things out, there are of course some pretty big claims made for any product :rolleyes: but it does help to unlock quite a bit of the other fert that's been applied over the years that nothing can "get". Everything in seaweed is available and it is sitting on a beach 5 min away :) not a hard decision for me, what to do. [/QUOTE]
