i wanted to make the unwanted wanted by enhancing them in plant-based boluses made with agar agar, water and glycerin.

agar agar is derived from seaweed and works as a stabilising and thickening agent for many purposes most commonly used in culinary, labs, propagation, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

why agar agar? it is true that it may be more costly and could promote mold growth if it is not used in a balanced way. however, i chose it because it is rich in nutrients, retains moisture and improves soil strength. while organic matter alone is sufficient, it can be treated as a tool to enhance soil health and added value to the compost.
