SNIPPED
Years ago at an agricultural show I bought some very concentrated
seaweed extract which was being sold as a farm crop spray..unfortunately
can't remember the trade name but an agricultural supplier should be
able to tell you. It was wonderful stuff. I think anything to do with
seaweed has an almost magical benefit to plants, in health and strength
as well as the flavour of potatoes.

We collected 50 sacks of seaweed last weekend, some of which is
ear-marked for the potato planting :-) As for car odour...well, it
helped to reduce the smell of our wet dog, and the horse manure from the
week before.

Go and have a look here andmake up your own mind

Yes, I know. I balance seaweed risk against Firth of Clyde radiation
levels from Sellafield, Holy Loch, Coulport, Hunterston power station,
passing nuclear submarines. Plus 18 years breathing drinking and eating
in Chernobyl's contamination area, regular mammograms, watching TV and
sitting in front of a computer.

It's quite useful to glow faintly while hiding under the duvet waiting
for the Highland Boundary Fault's next earthquake, or one of the
"extinct" volcanoes I can see from the window to change its mind :-(
