Soil Improver
Question Body:
Can I use raw seaweed as a fertilizer to replenish my ground for next year over Winter instead of farmyard manure?
Answer Body:
If you are lucky enough to be close to the sea, then yes, seaweed is a great traditional soil improver! It's important not to use it raw. For best results, spread it out thinly to dry for 3 weeks and then gather it up. Use it on its own or bulk it up with garden compost or farmyard manure. If you dig your vegetable patch in the Autumn you can spread the seaweed over this for the Winter and it can then be dug in fully in Springtime with an additional layer. A great natural soil improver!
