sodium and chloride are actually a plant nutrient. sea salt will provide more than that - a full spectrum of minerals that can only be sourced from the ocean. just google re use of sea salt, unrefined, and sea water in agriculture and you'll see

@@paulbraga4460 Well, maybe. All I know is when I was a child I got the brilliant idea of putting some salt in the soil of a potted plant, and it shriveled up and died. I imagine it would have to be quite diluted if one were going to use salt on soil you're trying to grow stuff in.

@@wendyscott8425 well, yes of course, very diluted. lynn hoag of sun country gardens shared with me here in the philippines "My recommendation if using clean sea water is to dilute it 0ne part ocean water to ten parts of fresh water. Use this diluted water at the rate of 2 and one half gallons on a 30 foot row or 200 square feet of garden. Do this 4 to 6 times a year. If using the dried sea solids then use one ounce of dried salt dissolved in 2 and one half gallons of fresh water . Use this diluted salt water on a 30 foot row or 200 square feet of garden or orchard. One ounce is the same as 2 tablespoons . Use this diluted water 4 to 6 times a year." you of course have to know if your soil and/or your water source is packed with sodium and/or chloride already but if you got lots of rain, there is not much worry. may you grow more and healthier plants

@@paulbraga4460 Interesting! I had no idea. :) Thanks!
