[Ctyfc] {Gro-ACT} Sea minerals question

[VRDNT Farm]

I'd suggest getting soil/tissue tests first and identify your limiting
nutrients. It will only be helpful if you have a deficiency in one of the
minerals needed for plant growth. I haven't heard anything about sea
minerals in particular, but it's my general opinion that the agriculture
input business is full of snake oil :-)

Best,
Becky
