Ive read that kelp is a common soil amendment....but the seaweed I have readily available, consistently is Chaetomorpha- and have been wondering if this seaweed can be used also.
Tried to add a link to info on this seaweed, but cant, as I am still very new here.
My other garden is a coral reef, as I propagate corals at home. This algea is used to outcompete nuicense algeas and seaweeds by absorbing nutrients, ammonia, nitrates and phosphates, very quickly in my aquariums and propagation systems. I thin it out often, throwing it away or giving it away to local reefers.
I am looking for info on using this in my indoor/outdoor gardens similar to the way many are using the kelp.
Side subject- I am also constantly trimming my willow tree....is there any added benefits of the chipped willow tree branches being composted into my soils (outdoors) vs composting other trees? Will the rooting qualities of the willow add to my soil through composting?
Appreciate all help and info.
