Kelp, picking some her on the coast
I live on the coast of Ma, we have some public places where Kelp is after storms like today, I was wondering if i can pick some up and put in the garden when the plants are not in there?

Been watching this canadian dude on youtube using seaweed as mulch. His stuff is growing quite well. So i guess you could do what you're planning. =)

Short answer...YES!
Slightly longer answer...why the heck are you sitting here looking at the computer screen and not out loading it up? It isn't even absolutely necessary to rinse, but it doesn't hurt...seawater, while salty (NaCl) also contains a host of other minerals and 'micronutrients', and the relatively small amount of NaCl isn't going to negatively impact your garden soil (yeah, if you added tons of seaweed annually, after a few years you may start to build levels of salt that will affect things). |
