Farmyard manure and seaweed were both traditionally considered great options for gardeners, as they were readily available and low cost. Good compost enriches soil with organic matter, enhances moisture retention, improves drainage and supports beneficial microorganisms that help plants access nutrients. It also helps balance soil structure, making it easier for roots to spread and take hold, which contributes to healthier, more vigorous plants.
Grow with Goulding Seaweed Enhanced Compost with Seaweed and Chitin
At Hygeia, they have worked to develop their new Grow with Goulding Seaweed Enriched Compost, fortified with key ingredients, seaweed and chitin. Seaweed is rich in essential trace minerals and micronutrients, promoting better nutrient absorption, stimulating growth and promoting stronger roots in fruit, vegetable and flowering plants. It also improves soil structure by helping to improve soil aeration, water retention and drainage, creating a healthier and more fertile growing environment for great results, season after season.
Chitin, which is a molecule found in crab shells as well as other crustaceans, interacts with soil microorganisms and plants, triggering beneficial responses. It enhances resistance to attacks from pests and diseases, and boosts resilience for a strong recovery from any damage. Chitin acts as a natural fertiliser that delivers proteins and minerals into the soil, supporting the growth of beneficial microorganisms and promoting a thriving soil ecosystem.
Grow with Goulding Seaweed Enriched Compost which is made in Ireland, has a perfect blend of added macro and micronutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (potash), magnesium, copper, boron, molybdenum, manganese, zinc and iron for the early development of plants, as well as other trace elements and amino acids. It’s suitable for use with indoor and outdoor pots, containers, beds and lawns.
