Q. Why is OceanSolution®
now marketed in a liquid form instead of in
crystals as discussed by Dr. Murray in Sea
Energy Agriculture?
Dr. Murray started his "sea agriculture
farm" using ocean water — not crystals. As
time progressed, the Gulf of Mexico water
from which he sourced his solution became
too toxic for vegetable growing, and he
discontinued it. He then researched and
developed the use of crystals, but admitted
that this product was not as good as the
former liquid solution as he felt that the
crystal version lacked certain elements that
the liquid version retained. OceanGrown,
LLC, has perfected a method of extracting
all vital elements from ocean water so that
it is again possible to supply growers with
the best version of nutrient fertilizer: all
the elements plus the aerobic bacteria
remain intact.

Q. Should you add NPK to your
OceanSolution®?
A. In certain situations, yes. When you are
dealing with hybrid plants, they are bred to
demand excess NPK. However, open pollinated
plants and seeds are aligned with nature,
and generally do not require extra NPK.
Q. How many gallons of OceanSolution®
should be put on one acre of grass?
A. For grass crops, you may begin with a mix
ratio of 100 parts water to 1 part
OceanSolution®.
Ten gallons of this “mix” should cover
approximately one acre. Then, adjust
accordingly based on the response you get.
Q. How often should crops be
fertilized with OceanSolution®?
A. This depends on the type of soil and
crop, and the stage the latter is in. First,
if the soil is heavy (such as clay), we
recommend fertilizing only two or three
times a year. If the growing area is sandy
loam, one could feed the plants daily or
weekly. Hydroponically, we feed the roots
OceanSolution®
twice a day from seedling through full crop.
Q. How do you get the salt out of the
OceanSolution®?
A. Because our process is so precisely
balanced and consistent it is not necessary.
The sea salts in OceanSolution®
act in a synergistic and beneficial way with
the other 90+ elements and natural bacteria
in the Solution; they are an integral part
of the total nutrition required for optimum
plant health. Our process has been
engineered and tested so as not to overdose
on salt.
Q. How can seawater be used to grow
any kind of plant life — won’t the salt in
OceanSolution®
hurt plants?
A. Our process is naturally balanced so that
it will not hurt plants — unless it is
applied excessively. Although ocean water,
which contains all of the known elements
(which are inorganic), is not suitable for
human consumption — when these elements are
extracted properly from ocean water, they
are suitable for plant consumption. Plants
add a carbon atom to the extracted inorganic
elements to make them organic, which humans
are designed to absorb.
Dr. Maynard Murray stated that sodium in the
organic form is “buffered” by surrounding
elements in the plant to the extent that, as
a practicing doctor of internal medicine, he
allowed his heart patients to eat as much
celery (known to be high in sodium) per day
as they wished — realizing that just one
stick a day is all that the body requires to
function properly. Humans have yet to find a
way to add the all important carbon atom to
inorganic elements; we still must rely on
living plants to do this for us.
Q. I am on a salt restricted diet;
will that affect whether I can eat food that
has been grown with OceanSolution®?
A. Salt that has been processed (like common
table salt) is inorganic, and generally
harmful to your body. However, salt that is
processed through plants is not toxic or
harmful, because plants convert inorganic
salt to organic salt. However, check with
your doctor to obtain their opinion.
Q. Does the type of soil make a
difference in my use of OceanSolution®?
A. Generally. Refer to the answer of the FAQ
above.
Q. How do you make OceanSolution®?
A. This is proprietary information. We can
say that it is done without heat or chemical
processing. No chelates are used.
Q. Can OceanSolution®
be safely used for foliar feeding?
A. Generally yes, however, delicate flowers
like orchids should not be fed in this way.
Q. Is it possible to purchase shares
in the company that processes and markets
OceanSolution®?
A. Yes. The opportunity to purchase shares
of equity (non-voting) of OceanGrown, LLC
(the company that produces and sells
OceanSolution®)
is presented periodically to potential
investors. If you have an interest, please
see our
investors' page or e-mail us at
investors@oceangrown.com for
information about upcoming offerings.
Q. What is the shelf life of
OceanSolution®?
A. We belief that un-opened it will be
indefinite but we are doing long term
stability testing to verify shelf life. We
recommend storing the Solution in a cool,
dry, covered area. Once opened it is
suggested that the contents be used within 2
years.
Q. How do I purchase OceanSolution®,
and how much does it cost?
A. You can order OceanSolution®
on our
Order page.
Q. How do I know it works, and is a
good value?
A. See our
testimonials to read what people
have to say about OceanSolution®
and the crops grown with it.
Q. What are the names of all the
identified elements and aerobic bacteria
that OceanSolution®?
A. See our
comprehensive chart that lists
all of the elements in OceanSolution®.
