What is the particle size distribution of KELP FIBER and how does this distribution compare to that of traditional soil amendments like wood shavings?

0

The particle sizes of KELP FIBER are generally smaller than the large particles that are found in traditional amendments like redwood shavings. Over 95% of the KELP FIBER particles are smaller than coarse sand (2mm) and 40% of them are smaller than fine sand (0.5mm), whereas for redwood compost only 25% of the particles are smaller than coarse sand and only 6% are smaller than fine sand. The smaller particle size of KELP FIBER gives it a larger surface area for holding water and nutrients, and also allows it to work into the soil easier when used as a top dressing.
