I figure I might as well commit to some harvesting before the beaches become a pita and too crowded. so I'll be carrying an assortment of dry and moist kelp bits back home with me.
Also thanks for the info on using the rinse water as a fertilizer. I remember some years ago when I used to spend a months income on kelp drink for my orchids. and boy did they love it.

Since the native kelp in our area is pretty much void of plant hormones and nutrients, I'm guessing that the sea salts are what your plants are relisshing, which is is a pretty poor statement about the rest of your plant nutrients.
