where did you find sushi wraps?

your local asian grocery. but I don't think nori is the same as kelp. kelp will be called kombu. You could reconstitute it before chopping it up. kind of expensive though compared to a bag of kelp meal from agway.
nori turns to slime when wet, so I would go with kombu. or wakame, which would be the cheapest, and I think is a kelp.

only reason i asked was a guy called vanforne(or somethin like that) said that sushi wraps were really cheap at any grocery store and all you did was put them in a blender and you were good to go...i look for elcheapo firsto....but not if it'll compromise the quality of product..guess i'll go with maxicrop.
does someone know how long seaweed last in soil?
there is alot of brands of seaweed that are for say chunky, and they don't dissolve in water, and I have a feelign this is what is called for in the recipe
Im sure the seaweed wrap might be better mixed in with water, but I have no clue, like someone said they might not dissolve in water

If you can buy a lb. of the seaweed extract powder for 13.99 plus shipping, this is enough for your plants for a couple of years worth in most instances as you're only using micro-amounts. This would be the cheapest way in terms of bang for your buck. You can get liquid products like maxicrop but they will be more expensive.
Remember, you want cold-processed ascophyllum nodosum.

I still think that would be your best bet. Make sure that it is the ascophyllum nodosum.
Check your local health food store. I live in a very rural area, and at both of the county's health food stores, the wraps and bulk granulated kelp are available.

maryjohn,what is an agway?..lol...have never seen one..i live in the hills..
Agway is a farm/feed/garden/pet supply chain all over the east coast. In the south it has a a different name. I get almost all my supplies and dog food there. Only place that gets cover crops in stock before winter.
If in the hills you should be able to find stuff easy. Depends on the hill I guess. If no Agway there is probably something similar.

i called southern states,tractor supply, ace hardware,krogers,walmart,2 health food stores..nada..there are 2 walmarts within 15 miles of where i'm at (ten/ky area) and i'm goin to drive there today...
remember nori is pressed and toasted laver, not kelp. I am unsure of it's nutritional content but no doubt it is high in K and iodine.
If you want seaweed, any seaweed, and are asking at food places, any of these might work: wakame, hijiki, kombu, etc... chinese kombu is very cheap, but the japanese stuff is very expensive. Hijiki would be the easiest to work with as you could just mix it in. wakame expands a lot when it gets wet.
for an interesting adventure, try the cookbook "washoku" by elizabeth andoh. it's worth it just for the kabocha with adzuki beans recipe. Which uses kelp, by the way.
a nori sheet is basically paper made from seaweed paste. There is not a lot in there. If you like miso soup, by the way, al you need is kombu (kelp), dried bonito flakes, and some miso. Wakame is optional.

the thought came to me that i should just go look for an asian and seek their advice but my next thought was..hmmm...aint no asians around here..hehehe
lol probably not. If you find the one asian guy though, he probably knows where the others are hiding.
plan b.... freshwater seaweed? I could never bring myself to pay all that shipping.
