fertilization with kelp

[erb.75]

I'm switching to organics, and I am going to follow @Brian Van Fleet 's recipe to the T. Since you add liquid seaweed to your cakes, do you think it would be OK to give them a weekly dose of kelp (https://www.amazon.com/Cyco-Platinum-Ryzofuel-5-L/dp/B00ZYDQ0JI) when I water?

Also, do you think the seaweed washes out of the cakes pretty fast?

I haven't started making the cakes yet because I need some sunshine...been doing nothing but raining here in Ohio

Sure, kelp has good micronutrients, but very low NPK values. I use fish emulsion at least weekly along with cakes.

The kelp in your link is cyco expensive. This is what Bjorn uses, about monthly, along with Holly tone in teabags:

I haven’t tried it yet, I like Neptune’s harvest fish plus seaweed, 2-3-1, mixed pretty strong.

Cool. Is there any danger in overfertilizing with the liquid seaweed in the cakes plus the kelp once a week? Or overfertilizing with either component?

Not that I have experienced.

@Brian Van Fleet I got dry seaweed compost. How much and how frequently to be applied to single pot ?

How long do you think this batch will last?

Do you ever use the little fertilizer baskets? Are they useless? Is it better to have the fertilizer applied directly to the surface?i think I remember listening to an asymmetry podcast and Ryan said they are fine but just too expensive for all his trees?
