The message
from "Teleman" contains these words:

Hey - you may be onto something there !!!!!
I live by the sea and could get seeweed galore


Ah. If you add seaweed to your compost, and can get hold of
horse/cow/pig muck to add, you will have (more or less) what crofters
use to keep their crofts in good condition. It used to be the springtime
job to pull the old thatch from the crofthouse roof and layer it with
seaweed and the deep litter from the byre (the whole winter's worth) to
make the compost for spreading in the following spring.

However, I don't know whether the nettle method would work well with
seaweed - you'll just have to try it. Beware! it might be a bit saline.
