About us

Hello! Welcome to our Cornish family run seaweed harvesting business!

​

We are Jacqui and Dan and our small family includes our cheeky little helper named Aurora and Zeeky our German shepherd. We live in a small coastal village along the south west coast of Cornwall and our work involves working on the coastline, harvesting seaweed to provide natural, organic products for farmers and gardeners and to also supply seaweed to other businesses throughout Cornwall.

​

Our mission is to provide natural, high quality, locally sourced products that will give businesses environmentally friendly solutions to their everyday business needs. At Little Green Seaweed, our products are made using seaweed harvested from our local beaches. We work alongside many partners to ensure we maintain high standards and sustainable methods when working with wild-harvested seaweed.

Ever wondered why seaweed makes a good natural fertiliser? Or how using seaweed bring back life to your plant? Or possibly, you’re new to being a plant/succulent owner or are expanding your plant/succulent fam and are looking for a natural, organic option to give your plants/succulents their best life?

​

We take a look below at the top five seaweed benefits for your plants and succulents.

​

  1. Protein biosynthesis through an abundance of amino acids and proteins

The proteins made from seaweed are high in content of unique amino acids at approximately 10-30% of dry mass. As a macronutrient the levels of proteins vary from species to species. This is a reason why each time we harvest we aim to collect between 6-7 variations of seaweed species to create diversity in the nutrients we provide with our liquid seaweed. Red algae’s carry the highest level of proteins, followed by green algae’s and lastly the brown algae’s carrying the lowest level of protein. Seaweeds are also unique in that they produce varying protein concentrations with the winter and early spring providing the highest concentrations of proteins. The growth phases of seaweed also influence the amount of protein found in different species of seaweed.

​

Why are proteins and amino acids important for plants?

​

These nutrients are important for lots of different functions for plants includ

ing photosynthesis, immunity, cell communication, transporting molecules, storage and cell development. Although proteins in plants are categorised into 4 main protein types based on their solubility using the Osborne Classification system, over 700 variations of amino acids exist and plants need a range of amino acids to carry out these functions, with seaweeds having a balance in both essential and non-essential amino acids.
