I order it from Wellspringgardens on Ebay.

If thie 3-1-6 does not cost to much, you could just put 5x what is required to get 15-5-30, or you could even try 3-1-6 feeding every other day.

Someone told me that watering in Kept extract may cause a problem in the soil. I think he said it would rot and turn into alcohol killing everything in the soil. I do use Humic acid as a water in solution and have had great luck with it. I have not been using the Kelp extract as much anymore. I find that some plants either do nothing or some grow faster and some get burn marks on their leafs. So I just put one cap full to 32oz and mist all my veggies when they are on their 2nd leaf.
