Seaside compost

ONE of the benefits of living on the coast is collecting seaweed for compost.


It sounds like a conundrum - adding something salty to the garden, except it isn't.

Read this great article by Peter Cundall in today's Weekly Times...

I usually run the seaweed through a compost bin before adding it the garden - it breaks down really well.

You need to check with council if you plan on taking away a heap of it.

Check your local beach after a storm or some wild weather and you'll be amazed at the variety available to help out your garden.
