Took a few years mate was crap when I first moved here over 40 years ago. I had peeler crab pots on the river and used to bring back sea weed to keep the peeler crabs fresh. That sea weed went on the garden even extra. Imo sea weed is the best thing to improve soil.

Cheers Arry

Interesting . I’m using liquid seaweed fertiliser on my onions, leeks, garlic, celeriac this year for the first time. 
Cheers.

That’s what I was using but you get twice as much for the same price at Home Bargains ! LOL ! So that’s what I use now. Same with Tomato Feed .

Cheers.

Poundland and Home Bargains are literally next door to each other in an out of town shopping precinct near us. 
The liquid fertiliser in both is Doff and £1:99 , but Poundlands is .6 of a litre and HB is 1:2 litres ! 
Makes a fair difference when you’re feeding as many plants as I am !

Cheers.

On the left; Poundland Doff tomato feed; .6 litre ; £2:00.

On the right; Home Bargains Doff tomato feed, 1.2 litre; £1:99. 
Exactly the same formula but Home Bargains is half the price.

Cheers.
