Ingredients
Kelp meal is one of nature’s most complete fertilizers, harvested from cold ocean waters and packed with over 70 trace minerals and natural plant growth hormones. At Daley Organics, we source only the finest kelp meal to include in our premium fertilizer blends.
The cytokinins and auxins found naturally in kelp stimulate root development, improve nutrient uptake, and help plants resist stress from heat, drought, and pests. Unlike synthetic fertilizers that deliver a narrow band of nutrients, kelp meal feeds your soil biology as much as it feeds your plants.
Both Daley’s Mix and Premium Soil Mix include kelp meal as part of our complete fertilizer blend — alongside 20+ other premium organic amendments. Read the full kelp meal ingredient profile or contact us to place a bulk order.
