Sugarcane mulch? swEEEEEt!

And, re the seaweed salts, tomatoes, like asparagus, like a little salt. That is one reason Monmouth County, NJ, was the tomato and asparagus capital of the world in the 1800's. The sandy soil, called sassafras loam, still had salts in it from 1000's of years ago when it was part of the ocean floor.

Its proximity to NYC also helped give it the nickname, I guess. ;-)
