The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

Do you compost the seaweed before use?
Do you hang it out to let the rain wash out the salt?

The Hebridean method is to get a load of seaweed in the spring. Dig all
the deep litter out of the byre. Pull the roof off the house.

As you build the heap, mix the litter, seaweed and the old hay from the
thatch, and leave the heap for a year.

Use last year's heap to add to the lazy beds.

If you should find some of these ingredients problematic, as some people
do these days, even in the Utter Hebrides, I understand that seaweed and
lawnmowings along with the usual constituents of a compost heap are
pretty nearly as good.
