Neptune’s Harvest 1-0-2 Organic Kelp Meal is a dry, ground seaweed amendment made from rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) harvested from cold New England waters. It’s an easy way to add trace minerals and organic matter to tired soil, and boost the soil's moisture-holding ability. The 12 lb bag is a practical size for regular gardeners, and it’s OMRI Listed for organic use. We recommend kelp meal for gardens that dry out fast or raised beds that need a little more “body” in the mix.

Because it’s a meal, it works best mixed into soil where microbes can go to work, but you can also apply it as a top dress around established plants. It pairs well with other amendments like crab shell meal when you’re building a balanced organic program. Expect results to show up slowly in overall plant performance and soil texture over time.

How To Use

• Before planting (beds): Till or mix into the top few inches of soil, then water in.
• Top dressing (established plants): Sprinkle around the root zone and lightly scratch in, then water.
• Potting mixes: Blend into your mix before filling containers; avoid leaving concentrated pockets against roots.
• Seed and transplant beds: Mix in thoroughly so seedlings don’t sit on a strong patch of amendment.
• Lawn use: Apply in early spring when soil can be worked, rake in lightly, and water thoroughly.
• Coverage note: 12 lb bag covers roughly 1,200 sq ft.

Product Tips

• Mix evenly; clumps of meal can sit wet and concentrate salts in one spot.
• Water after application to move nutrients into the root zone and activate soil biology.
• Use as a soil builder alongside compost, not as your only fertility source.
• For containers, reapply lightly during the season rather than loading heavily at the start.
• Store sealed and dry, since kelp meal can pull moisture from the air.
