I prefer not to use peat in potting compost and make my own. I stack
turf and weed roots under a plastic cover. The result after a year or
two is a beautiful friable soil. To this I would like to add seaweed
meal and calcified seaweed as fertiliser, but by what amounts?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Don't know but farmers used to use lots on the potato fields on the
Ayrshire coast they just dumped it on the soil and ploughed it in, but I
suspect you should was it in fresh water first to reduce the salinity a bit.
