Seaweed has been used as an organic fertilizer for centuries.
The Best Quality Kelp Meal contains only Ascophyllum Nodosum from the North Atlantic.
All minerals on earth eventually make it to the sea. Trace amounts of every element are found in seawater. The cold waters of the North Atlantic envelope the Sea Kelp and lock in the trace elements.
The Kelp Seaweed is harvested, washed, and dried then turned into a powder for ease of transport and use.
Best Quality Available.

Used as a soil treatment, Kelp Meal helps garden soil become healthier. You can grow healthier plants which are stronger and more resistant to diseases, root more quickly, and grow more vigorously. Seaweed Tea can be used as a foliar feed and can help plants recover from frost damage more quickly.
Seaweed can be used as a soil amendment in combination with organic fertilizers or with synthetic chemical fertilizers to add a full spectrum of trace minerals and natural growth and rooting hormones for more vigorous growth, healthier plants, and better tasting fruits, vegetables, and food.

Used as a seed soak, seaweed treated seeds germinate faster and in larger percentages.
Kelp Meal can be used in Bioponics to increase nutrient uptake, and more efficient use of hydroponic nutrients.

Earthworm Castings are a natural fertilizer. A good source of easily absorbed Nitrogen, Roots Organics is the best quality earthworm castings available. These worms are fed a special diet of selected compost fortified with rock dust and sea kelp. Besides natural Nitrogen there are naturally occurring trace micronutrients and beneficial bacterias.

Both Sea Kelp and Earthworm Castings are excellent supplements for any growing soil. These organic supplements will NOT burn your plants. Best quality available,simple and easy to use.

You can make Seaweed Tea from Kelp Meal for soil watering, germination, hydroponics, or to use as a Foliar Feed. Take One Gallon of Water, Add in One Quarter Pound of Seaweed Powder. Stir well and let the tea "steep" for 24 hours to three days. Shake it gently or stir every so often. Either strain the mix, or make a "teabag" out of burlap, pantyhose, or whatever convenient material you have that works for you. Use the Tea directly, you do not need to dilute. Do NOT cap the Tea--cover with a cloth--allow the Tea to breathe.
It is helpful to blow a fish bubbler constantly through the solution, but not necessary.

It works best to make separate solutions of guano, bloodmeal, worm castings, etc. in other bottles, then mix your supplemental solutions together with the Tea just before watering your plants or simply water your plants with either the supplemental solutions or the Kelp Tea at separate times.


Seaweed Tea made from Kelp Meal strengthens and enhances plant health if it is sprayed on the plants leaves as a foliar feed. Do not spray more often than every three weeks. After the first foliar feeding and the spectacular results, it is tempting to overdo foliar feeding. If you foliar feed too often, though, the plant cannot handle it. Depending on speed of growth, foliar feeding should be done only once a season or in three to seven week intervals. A three week interval is only when the plant is enjoying vigorous growth with full light; less vigorous growth requires a less frequent foliar feeding schedule.

You can re-use the kelp powder to make more tea if you add two tablespoons more fresh kelp powder.

As a soil amendment, use one pound of kelp for every 100 square feet of garden every four to six weeks of the growing season. It is difficult to overuse kelp as a soil drench, because the roots absorb more selectively than the leaves.

Studies have shown that using Tea made from Kelp Meal to germinate seeds result in quicker germination of the seeds into plants and higher percentages of seed germinations--more starts come up. These are studies done only on Ascophyluum Nodosum, North Atlantic Sea Kelp.


Kelp has been used as an organic fertilizer by tribal people on both sides of the Atlantic for centuries. Members of Celtic tribes of Northern Europe have traditionally used kelp as a soil amendment or fertilizer. While it is reported that in 1622, Squanto, a Pawtucket Indian showed the settlers at the Plymouth Plantation how to catch the alewife (a fish from the Herring family) to use as a fertilizer, documentation of North American tribes fertilizing with kelp is lacking. This may simply be a result of the fact that common knowledge from both sides of the Atlantic was not remarkable and therefore not mentioned in writings of the period. Looking through the archeological evidence for use of kelp as a fertilizer has never been funded as a priority.
Pacific Coast tribes on both sides of the Pacific used different species of kelp as a direct food source. The North Atlantic Ascophyllum Nosodum has been shown in laboratory tests to have superior characteristics of encouraging disease resistance, natural growth and rooting hormones, and overall healthier plants.




The 3R Lighting Company sells the best quality kelp meal available. Dry powders are both less costly to ship than liquid kelp solutions as well as precluding the need to add preservatives to the liquid kelp solutions. The preservatives added to commercial kelp liquids for increased shelf life, may be as mild as citric acids or as harsh as formaldehyde. No preservatives are needed for dried kelp--it's all natural.

**The Pallet Delivery Price can only be used at commercial addresses. There is an extra charge for Residential Delivery by truck. There is also an extra charge for Inside Delivery instead of curbside delivery. Liftgate delivery is also an extra charge. The 3R Lighting Company does NOT wish to bill your credit card for these extra charges as according to the NMFC.

We can issue a "Hold at Terminal for Pick-up" order, but you will be required to drive to the terminal (perhaps during business hours), show ID for the consignee, and load into a pickup truck.

Small farms can qualify as Commercial Address if the farm
1) the farm must have a name.
2) the farm must be a farm.
3) the farm must have a sign with the farm name out by the road.
4) someone has to be out at the farm to unload the truck (15 minutes per pallet) without requiring the driver to call. If the truck driver shows up for delivery and there is no one there, you will be charged for an attempted delivery (per NMFC). If the truck terminal dispatcher has to make an appointment for delivery, there is an extra charge (per NMFC). You do NOT need to have a forklift. You can break the plastic and unload the bags by hand as long as it is done and counted in 15 minutes.


Even if your farm is a residence, it can still qualify as a commercial address if it is a producing farm with a sign out by the road.
If you work a day job off the farm, it may work out better to have the pallet delivered to a commercial address in town, then load it into your pickup after work.
Please count the delivery BEFORE you sign off. If there are any damages or shorts WRITE IT DOWN ON THE PAPER you are signing. If you cannot make the qualifications, it is far less expensive to simply order multiple boxes. Type the number of boxes next to the BUY Button.

If you have any questions or want more delivered bulk pricing, please e-mail us or call.
