I use it to keep the weeds down around new plantings and when putting in fertilizer (cow manure) as it helps to lessen the strength of the dose. The mineral value is easy to see as even on the hands, they feel soft and nourished. Agar is what it is called in a water mixture and that is what Oriental orchid growers plant the orchid seeds into when flasking due to its ability to withstand fungal growth and its positive effect on germination. I add dried seaweed watered into plants. There's more on this thread here:
