What's not to love about that? :dontknow:

I'm not clear about what you are asking and I don't think we have enough details to be
able to give any sort of proper answer about using this with "store bought seaweed".
My hunch would be, sure, why not? Try it and you might like it!

what I mean is do you think its the same as commercial seasol

So it looks like Seasol Commercial is this...

SEASOL COMMERCIAL product page wrote:

Seasol is a 100% organic seaweed extract that provides a synergistic range of natural compounds and trace elements derived from a blend of the finest brown kelps from around the world. King Island Bull Kelp, Durvillaea potatorum from the waters of north west Tasmania and Knotted Kelp Ascophyllum nodosum from the North Atlantic Ocean.

Perhaps if you can tell which species of "sea weed" you'll be using, that can be compared to the
brown kelps used in Seasol Commercial? They probably have more refined processes in...

The processing plant used to extract the liquid concentrate is the only one of its type in the world and the manufacturing process is also unique and maximises the extraction of plant essential compounds.

Maybe the DIY method doesn't extract everything or as much, and perhaps some processes they use actually
enhance the product beyond simple render, but maybe the DIY method would be plenty good enough? If I could
find Seasol in Costa Rica I'd buy it for my AP vitamin cabinet. Instead I'll probably spend my next trip to the beach
gathering seaweed rather than swimming or trying to surf so I can mix up a batch of DIY Seasol.
Go for it man! :shark:
