Kelp as a Food Source - 2008/04/02 16:25
I've been given around 60kg of kelp paste (pulverized for the extraction of the juice for the fertilizer industry).
As it is in a paste form, it is fairly wet, around 85 - 90%.
pH is around 4.6 according to the plant manager.

The kelp was properly cleaned of all salts prior to it being mulched and then pulverized.
Should I try to raise the pH, and what should I use? I would like not to mix it with any other food source though to see what the results would be like.

Ideas, thoughts and advice needed. If it works, then I can get a free supply of 60kg daily, 7 days a week!.

Re:Kelp as a Food Source - 2008/04/03 10:21 why not give it a try and place some in one corner of a worm bed and just see what happens they will either like it or they won't, I wouldn't dry it particularly if you are feeding in small amounts. Please let us know how you make out FEED IT TO THE WORMS
