Hmm, seems like most of the organic carbon in that kelp is just going to rot and release the CO2 back in the atmosphere no?
It will still work as fertilizer for the other nutrients of course, but getting the carbon to be actually stored in the soil humus is considerably more complicated I think.
That's along the lines that I was thinking. It's especially unhelpful if it is being used to feed or help feed animals.
