Noticed a seaweed-based commercial fertiliser. Looks good, but not cheap.
Anyone worked with anything similar? Was it worth the money?

Also, would something like this be good for sweet peas?

I live on the coast and use a lot of seaweed on my crops and it works wonders. Because of that I wouldn't buy commercial products but I imagine their effects would be similar.

It contains a fair amount of potash so would be fine for any flowering/fruiting plants. My tomatoes get fed on a smelly liquid feed that I make by stewing seaweed for a couple of months in water in a big tub.
