Whale hello there
You're a curious one. We like that. Here are answers to frequently asked questions. If you can't find what you're looking for, please drop us a line.
Kelp
Kelp is nature’s multivitamin. It’s packed with over 70 trace minerals, natural growth hormones, and biostimulants that help plants sprout stronger roots, resist stress, and thrive without synthetic fertilizers. Plus, it’s renewable and grows faster than almost anything else on Earth.
We source our sugar kelp from trusted, sustainable farms in the cold, clean waters of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. These farms actually help heal oceans by absorbing carbon and nitrogen as they grow.
Nope. No pillaging here. All of our kelp is farmed, never wild-harvested. That means we’re not stripping ecosystems — we’re supporting farmers who are regenerating coastal waters.
Quite the opposite. Kelp farms create underwater forests that shelter fish, crustaceans, and countless little sea creatures. It’s a win-win: better oceans and better gardens.
Products
A Kelp Pot is a seed-starting pot made from seaweed and recycled fibers. You plant your seeds in it, then plant the whole thing straight into the ground when it’s ready — no waste, no plastic. The pot biodegrades in about 6–8 weeks, feeding your soil as it disappears.
Yes. Unlike plastic, they don’t choke landfills or roots. Unlike peat, they don’t dry out too fast or deplete fragile ecosystems. Kelp Pots hold moisture just right, give your seedlings a nutrient boost, and vanish into the soil when their job is done.
About 8–12 weeks in typical garden soil. By the time your plant is establishing roots, the pot is quietly feeding microbes and improving soil structure.
Kelp Pots are great for veggies (non-root), herbs, flowers, and small shrubs — basically anything you’d normally start from seed.
Not a speck. We don’t do “junk.” Our pots are made only from sugar kelp and recycled organic fibers. No plastic, no glue, no greenwashing. Just a pot that feeds your soil as it fades away.
Our pots are made with sugar kelp, which is a natural biostimulant that feeds seeds and enriches soil as the pot biodegrades. That means your plants get a head start, and your garden gets healthier over time.
Could we make them cheaper? Sure — if we cut corners with glues, binders, or other synthetic fillers like many alternatives do. But we won’t. Everything in a Kelp Pot is designed to heal, not harm, the planet we’re all rooted in.
Partnerships & Community
Absolutely. We’re always looking for ways to support the growing seaweed industry. If you’ve got kelp, trimmings, or byproducts, let’s talk about turning them into regenerative products instead of waste.
Definitely. We offer wholesale and bulk options and love working with retailers who share our vision. Reach out through our contact form, and we’ll get you growing.
By creating demand. Every Kelp Pot sold supports regenerative ocean farming. We also partner directly with local businesses and processors to build a stronger, circular economy around seaweed.
Not just quite yet, but we're working on it.
