{"title":"Seaweed and Plant Tonics","description":"\u003cp\u003eTonics are not fertilisers, and they do not replace one. Their job is to support root growth, condition the soil and help plants make use of the feed you already apply. This small Plant Doctor range pairs a kelp-based liquid seaweed with a fulvic acid bio-stimulant, and the choice between them comes down to what you want to support: the plant and its soil directly, or the performance of everything else you put on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeaweed Secrets or Stimulizer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeaweed Secrets\u003c\/strong\u003e is a concentrated liquid seaweed made from Ascophyllum nodosum kelp, with humic and fulvic acids added. The kelp is naturally rich in more than 70 minerals, along with amino acids and plant growth hormones. It works as both a plant tonic and a soil conditioner, improving soil structure and moisture retention, and it is used on lawns and gardens from a plant's early stages through to full bloom.
