The Shropshire Seaweed Company

Call Directions Website

The Shropshire Seaweed Company Organic seaweed fertiliser & soil improvers, made in Shropshire for healthier soil and plants. Helping UK gardeners grow the natural way since 2005.

Everything we make helps build healthy, living soil, because strong plants start from the ground up. Over 100 miles from the nearest coastline, Shropshire is the last place you'd expect to find a company that makes products from seaweed. When we tell local people what we do, they often look at us like we're completely mad! However, here in the heart of rural England, we do think we know a thing or two about organic living and 'the good life' - which is what drove us to develop our seaweed product range.

The change of season means a big shift in how and what we’re working on here at TSSC. In summer, our focus is on fulfilling orders: hand filling, packing and loading delivery vans.

Our winter looks a little different as orders slow and we can focus on the little details that make an impact. And this winter, we’re getting ready for our biggest year yet.

We’re working on:
🌱 Bringing on our new customer growing trial participants
📦 Improving every step of your order, from browsing online to arriving on your doorstep
🧪 Developing new products shaped by what you’ve told us you’re looking for
🌍 Partnerships with people working to make a positive impact on our planet

Next season will be our most impactful yet, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Be prepared for the first frosts of the year.

Some areas have already had its first, and most of the UK will follow over the next few weeks. The jobs you do now, and straight after that first cold night, play a big part in what comes through to spring.

Swipe to see:
✓ When to expect frost where you are
✓ Hardy, half-hardy or tender, and what to do with each
✓ Which plants need fleece
✓ How to save seed before frost
✓ Jobs to do once the first frost has hit
✓ When to lift dahlias, and how to store them
✓ How to protect your soil over winter

Save this for the first cold forecast, and send it to someone whose growing dahlias for the first time.

Saving seed is simple and incredibly satisfying when you know how. Here are three tips to help you get the best from your seed 🌱

1. Wait until the seed heads have fully matured on the plant before removing them. Dry them, then store the seed in an airtight container for next year.
2. Save seed from your healthiest, strongest plants. They’re the ones best suited to your soil and your conditions, so you’re passing on the traits you want.
3. Don’t bother saving seed from F1 varieties. They’re a cross between two different parent plants, so their seed won’t grow true. You’ll get unpredictable results that rarely match the plant you saved from.

Ask us for recommendations of the easiest seeds to save, for both food and flowers in the comments below.

You can see the difference, and your plants can feel it.

This summer, you’ve told us about stronger, more resilient plants, bigger harvests, fewer pests and diseases, and better drought tolerance.

The difference goes further than you can see on the surface.

There’s a reason our seaweed is a different colour, a different texture and a different scent to other brands on the shelf.

And it’s not just how it looks. It performs differently too.

We may only have a few weeks left until the first frost, so we’re making the most of every last bud and bloom.

Part 1 of our frass and microgreens trial 🌱

It’s just a small pinch of frass, added to a jar of microgreen seeds, to see what it can really do. We’ve been putting frass through its paces this year for growing roses, keeping slugs away from plants, improving your soil, and now, Jess is testing the effectiveness of frass for growing Microgreens.

What we’ve been looking out for:
• Moisture retention
• Growth rate
• Roots
• Yield
• Health

Check back tomorrow to see the first results.
