I agree I had a friend who used a lot of it in his vegetable garden he
collected it straight from the sea and dug it in..not sure if he composted
it first but I'm sure he didnt wash it.

Seaweed is one of the finest additions available. There is no need to wash
it or even to use as compost. Simply dig it directly into the ground. We
used to be able to purchase it [subsidised] in large quantities and crops
were excellent.
Best Wishes.

I live near the sea and was wondering about the benefits of seaweed as a
compost in the very poor soil of my garden. If I wash it well to reduce
the
salt content, will it be OK to use straight on and in the soil?
