Hello all, I mixed up some kelp meal and water and pureed it and have it in a jar in the refrigerator and was wondering how long it will last? Thank you
How long will concentrated kelp last in the refrigerator?

I’m not familiar with kelp meal but assuming it’s anything like fresh kelp- you’ll sure as hell know when it starts to go off. I’ve never stored kelp in the fridge, but the climate is naturally chilly here and when I spread it on my outside gardens it’s generally turned to sludge within a week.
Yes this ^^^
I do kelp meal ground fine and re-hydrated then into the fridge. Let settle and use the liquid mix with water 10:1 at least and foiler on.
The mix usually lasts at least a month in the fridge. Smell test is the way to go. If it smells like poop - its poop. Put it on the base of your outdoor plants, they will love you and mix a new batch.

Thank you, It still smells fishy to me, I like the idea of putting on my plants. I thought zbout putting in my worm bins if it goes bad also.
‘Goes bad’ is what we call it. For my garden plants they call that ‘goes good’.

Freeze it if you want long term storage.
I use it up before it goes bad. Its easy enough to make for sure and not worth saving really. I can make a new batch over night.
I put the ground up kelp meal in the compost and/or spoon a few tbs into my pots and water in.
Can even mix in a cup of EWC add more water, shake up and water in.
Use that mix on a plant that is in need of some nutrients.
