The humic and fulvic fractions are soil-first: dissolve and water them in, and they go on working between feeds. The seaweed plant food is the one you reach for during the season, on a fortnightly rhythm through the growing months, as a watered-on feed or a dilute spray on the leaf.\n\nWe would rather not overclaim for any of the three. Seaweed extracts have a reasonable evidence base as biostimulants; the humic fraction has a good one for cation exchange and nutrient retention. None of them replaces feeding the soil properly.\n\nPlant-based, handcrafted in Stockport. Each carries its own dilution and application rate, unchanged in the trio.
