Dr. Murray began his life
long research in sea energy agriculture in
1936. His goal: to get the perfect chemistry
(consistency, balance and proportion) of the
ocean back into the depleted soils. He felt
this was the key to proper nutrition, a
stronger immune system and a longer,
healthier life. Dr. Murray undertook a
variety of experiments to unearth the
secrets of the sea, often wondering why
land-based animals suffered from so many
forms of chronic disease while sea animals
generally enjoyed vigorous health.
Over the years, Dr. Murray's research would
take him across the United States, from
Massachusetts to Florida in search of
answers.
Sea Energy Agriculture, the science that
Dr. Murray uncovered lay largely dormant
during the next 20 years until a dedicated
effort was initiated to rescue this
essential knowledge from oblivion.

Discoverer of the lost art of:
Complete Nutrition®
Over the years, Dr. Murray's research led
him to various States and locales including
Massachusetts, Indiana, Illinois and
Florida. It was outside of Chicago that he
met Ed Heine, a farmer who proved to be a
great help as well as a friend to the
Doctor, participating in many experiments.
The years leading to Murray's premature
death in 1983 were filled with intense
research on his own hydroponics farm in
North Fort Myers on the West Coast of
Florida.
"Sea Energy Agriculture", the science that
Dr. Murray uncovered lay largely dormant
during the next 20 years until a dedicated
effort was initiated to rescue this
essential knowledge from oblivion.
Dr. Murray began his trials with sea solids
after he had started with coastal waters
that had became increasingly toxic and
unusable.
Ocean Grown has shifted from using
sea solids (crystals are problematic for
several reasons; many elements are lost
during evaporation, crystals do not go back
into solution easily or reliably, they are
difficult to apply, and are a natural
desiccant and therefore tend to clump in
humid environments) back to an improved
Ocean Solution Extract harvested from the
deep clean ocean and suitable for all
plants.
This has required major investment in the
design of machinery that could extract the
minerals without damaging the aerobic
bacteria that is abundant in seawater and is
important for revitalizing damaged soils.
One advantage of extracting the minerals is
the reduction of all handling, storage and
shipping costs. |

The History of Ocean Solution®
It is well understood that there are radical
health differences between plants and
animals found in the sea and those on land.
In the ocean, life thrives on a precisely
balanced diet of inorganic nutrients while
our landlocked environment has been
increasingly unable to provide plants and
animals with the full compliment of minerals
necessary for health and longevity.
In Sea Energy Agriculture, Dr. Maynard
Murray makes the following analogy:
“If
a soil is like a mine with its myriad of
elements, then whenever man tills it, plants
crops and in other ways engages in farming,
he is for all practical purposes engaged in
the business of mining. Like a miner, the
farmer breaks the earth with digging tools,
but instead of dynamite, he plants seeds to
loosen the minerals and elements from their
holding matrix. And finally, he carts away
his minerals in the form of food rather than
ore.”
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this
mining analogy is that farmers, through
conventional fertilizer strategies, often
only replace three to six of the total
number of elements removed from the soil.
The failure to understand the importance of
all elements and their role in providing
complete, balanced nutrition to plants and
animals has resulted in an abundance of food
that is great in bulk but low in nutritional vitality.
