The Seanure Process – From Sea To Soil

Seaweed Starter
The Seanure Process begins with the harvesting of a specially chosen seaweed - Ascophyllum nodosum – which is picked for its extremely high content of alginates and other gums. It flourishes in its native habitat along some of the most beautiful stretches of Ireland's western coastline where it is carefully nurtured and cropped. Vitally, it is able to regenerate itself in as little as three to four years, making it a most valuable renewable resource.

Making a Meal of it
Once collected, the fresh seaweed is immediately taken to a drying plant where it is washed in fresh water to remove surface salts. It is then dried and ground under exacting conditions into a clean, constant meal.

Although nutritious, the seaweed meal in this state would take a considerable length of time to release these nutrients to benefit the soil, especially where the microbial activity is low or even non-existent. This delay could mean not only a failure to build up the quality of the soil but also a temporary nitrogen deficiency.

Quality Fast Food
The Seanure product range overcomes this time lapse by taking the process one step further. By using a unique composting treatment of the raw seaweed the Seanure method ensures that the products:

• Retain all the important life encouraging ingredients
• Make available all these vital ingredients from the moment the product is applied to a moist soil
• Contain a high level of bacterial activity even before usage
• Are in a format where a high proportion of essential gums have been unlocked, providing the basis for the creation and sustenance of a balanced ecosystem of beneficial bacteria and fungi as well as improved soil aggregation, clay flocculation and moisture retention

And the Icing on the Cake
So what’s the secret to Seanure’s impressive results? Well, when Seanure comes into contact with moisture in the soil it unlocks up to 40 times more alginate than the unprocessed seaweed meal – now that’s impressive!
