Hi there, I just had a quick look on google and it seems that Scotland produces Liquid Seaweed fertilizer. You can purchase it over the internet for mail delivery. Check out http://www.orkneyseaweed.co.uk/saleslink.htm for one. I didn't see any store names mentioned.Generally if you are in "Europe" you a probably be best off ordering it online as postage is cheap- then it will come to you.

seweed for bamboo why?

are you mad, why would you want to put seaweed fertilizer on a bamboo, just give it some well rotted compost round it and a bit of fish blood and bone, not only is seaweed fertilizer expensive but your bamboo will go nuts and eat you out of house and home

Hi

I use Vitax liquid seaweed on everything in my garden. Half a cap in a full watering can every 2 weeks does me.

I live near the beach and gather loads of kelp in the summer. I tend to rinse it off, then leave it out to dry and chop it up, add it to my compost and spread in the beds.

We have been thinking about posting some of it out to fellow gardeners this summer.

It is also amazing for the skin. A few handfuls added to a warm bath makes your skin super soft. Not everyone's cup of tea though! :)
