Better Plants

Better Plants produces 100% natural, organic seaweed based products using seaweed sourced from Irish suppliers. Better Plants products are aimed at feeding your soil as well as your plants. Here's what they have to sasy:

"A lot of plant food out there is exactly that, food for the plant. They do nothing for the soil. We set about looking for a product that was not only natural and feed the plant, but also feed the soil. Over-use of the same soil will result in poor crops resulting in the need to use chemical plant foods more often.

We have some really great suppliers around the west coast of Ireland who hand harvested seaweed called Ascophyllum Nodosum. This is a particular brown algae species living in “extreme” conditions. It had to adapt to 2 periods of emersion of 6 hours in any 24 hours of a full year which explains part of its specific natural composition. Better Plants is traceable right to the exact location and seaweed date of harvesting along the eastern Atlantic Irish shoreline. This cold water shoreline is particularly rich in minerals and remains unpolluted by heavy metals.

Many commercial extracts contain a low amount of processed seaweeds but high levels of additives. Better Plants is based purely on 100% fresh seaweed. You can therefore properly assess the real benefits of the seaweed after regular applications based on low concentrations. The purity and the integrity are obvious by the characteristic odour of the fresh seaweed and the green-olive colour identical to raw seaweed. In addition, low temperatures do not alternate the general composition of the seaweed polysaccharides."
