What is the composition of KELP FIBER?
Approximately one half of the dry weight of KELP FIBER is microscopic perlite, (a common component in planting mixes), that is used in the algin extraction process, and the remainder of the material is organic matter (39.8 %), and mineral nutrients (5.2 %). What makes KELP FIBER unique as a soil amendment is its residual alginic acid content, which has a commercial value of $80 to $150 per cubic yard. If it could be extracted, coupled with its nutrient value and with the long-lasting benefits of its inorganic perlite (sponge rock) component, it would be the best soil amendment in the market place. Also, the alginic acid content of KELP FIBER puts it in a class all its own, as no other soil amendment has it.
