Hi Geordie, thanks for that.

I know asparagus loves seaweed too and as we speak I have it piled up on all my raised beds (when I think about it, mainly under black polythene - oops, I guess this will nullify the weather washing the salt away?) in preparation for the new season.

I'm not too worried about using it where there are currently no plants above ground level. But I also use it neat on my flowerbeds and around growing veg and wondered if that was okay - but wasn't sure where to post the question to apply to both! Maybe I'll try rinsing the water off fresh wet seaweed. Usually I'm too keen and have gathered too much to be able to find a space big enough to lay it out and hose it down, other than the beds themselves! Oh well.

Do you (or anyone) know how to make a foliar spray out of seaweed (ie what concentration, how long to soak it etc)

Thanks again for any advice
Hardy
