I was at my daughters beach hut today and noticed there was a lot of seaweed around.
I was reminded of Monty always going on about seaweed as a fertiliser. So I filled a sack and brought it home grin
I've been reading up on how to use it and they all say to just layer it on your soil and it will dry out. I'm not sure how this is going to look. Do you think it would be ok to dig it in?

I’d just leave it on top during the coming months and let nature break it down then perhaps dig it in in thr early spring. I use the algae I scoop out of my pond as a fertiliser.

Put it in the compost bin.
