Can this powdered kelp be used?

Saw this at the place I get the blackstrap from and was wondering if you could use it for the powdered kelp in the veg tea in Organics for Beginners? With the sodium I'm thinking not but was curious what some of those in the know have to say.

Thanks

I guess you could but I don't think iodine is needed.. Sodium isn't a killer if it was just a small bit. But to use all the time? I'd say no.

Still you could save a lot of cash if you can buy something like THIS

Edit.. Kelp is a source of iodine? Interesting.. Hey is it bad for the soil?

kelp is the best dietary source of iodine I can think of. if you don't use iodized salt and never eat commercial food, kelp will keep you from getting a goiter.

CC has said, acadian seaweed is one of the best seaweeds to use

I like maxicrop powdered also

I suggest these over what your showing

I use norwegian sea kelp mixed into the soil it comes loose in some health food shops have a look out for it, its good stuff

Mmm, kelp meal. My plants love it. If you think about it, ocean water probably contains every single kind of mineral on earth. Like that Italian sauce commercial, "It's in there".

also don't confuse sodium listed in a nutritional analysis with sodium as an ingredient. Just about every thing that grows has some sodium in it.

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the input, I'm still on the hunt.
