What would be in a marine grade soap that helps plant growth? I am not sure but I have the pink stuff as well as some StarBrite brand soap.
I'll try to put soap on my grass but I do not think it will accelerate any growth!

Far more weeds in the lake now than there used to be. Never used to have blue green algae either. Thats one reason they are trying to kill them and why they have people sitting at boat ramps looking at trailers that enter the lake. Soap is not the only cause but it doesnt help. Any soap that contains phosphates promotes plant and algae growth.
