Would it be ok to put fresh seaweed between rows of potatoes or runner beans to feed and mulch.

I'm sure I heard somewhere that because of polluted oceans, you should be careful about using fresh seaweed.Granny on the Game in Sheffield -

Sorry, I didn't mean to scaremonger. I was really put off by reading about it, so I composted the seaweed I collected in the summer in the hope that it would be broken down. I wont be afraid any more now, thanks.Originally posted by sewer rat View PostGranny on the Game in SheffieldComment

Great around your potatoes. Saltiness seems to deter the slugs.Comment
