Seaweed
A small, spicy seaweed with a strong, peppery flavor.
Large particles, gritty, excellent drainage, poor nutrient retention.
High alkalinity, nutrients like iron, zinc, and phosphorus may be less available.
Adequate organic matter levels, common in well-managed agricultural soils.
High salinity level, most conventional crops will struggle to grow.
Impact: Only highly salt-tolerant crops like beets, spinach, and certain grasses can grow effectively.
Extremely humid; often found in rainforests or during summer storms.
Impact: High risk of fungal diseases; some plants thrive, but most require careful management to prevent rot.
