Hey
Bugs are not usually much of a problem outdoors. You may get a few leaves with holes in them, but that's usually about it and they do not hurt anything. These plants are not real susceptable to bugs outside. I had way more often problems with bugs years ago when I grew indoors. I guess it depends on exactly where you are at, but not much of a prob here in the SE US. No, I have not tried the kelp, but I can suggest Neem oil as a safe and natural insectacide, if you find you need to spray them. Neem also acts as a fundicide. A more common problem than bugs I hear is deer, but then again it would depend on where you are planting. I dont have much deer problems but many people say they do. Personally, I have always just spread out some peices of soap around my gardens for good measure, and I have never had much of a deer problem. I dont use any wire or fence or special repelants or anything. I plant all different types of flowers and vegies and no deer problems. We do have lots of deer around here too.
Anyway,
good luck and I hope you get to try all that variety
