I noticed 2 guys today in the water on my local beach from north down borough council and stopped to ask what they where doing, they replied that they where clearing the seaweed! I then asked if it was ok to remove dead seaweed from the beach to use as a fertilizer for my plants, they stated yes it was a very good fertilizer, totally organic and that I would be not only helping my plants but helping the natural enviroment by clearing the beaches of dead seaweed, so a general heads up to all those looking for free natural compost in north down, its free, its safe, and its the best fertilizer money cant buy! Also did a secondary check at town hall, again they repeated the same thing, I would only be helping by removing it, and hoped more would think like me and save them time and resources in removing it! I here all local producers are now try there best to use this as a natural feed for all different types of plants, but as I grow mostly fruit and veg, and have been using this for years until someone here stated that what I was doing was wrong and I actually needed permission, I can now safely state that in north down Bangor, its ok
Ps the crops I got without it where 50% less, so believe me it is great
Pps plz ask in ur own local towns if its ok to remove it b4 doing so, just incase I yet again flag up bad comments about my use of natures best compost!
If you pick the stuff at the top of the beach, generally the third line, its pretty broken up, look pretty much like compost, and can be scattered over flower or veg beds, where it eventually breaks down and feeds the plants, if you pick the stuff in the middle row, you can dry this in ur back yard and break it down in a food processor to scatter or mix with compost to feed your plants all year round, if u pick the slimy stuff at the waters edge, u can simple put this in a sealable bucket for 6 months, after 6 months drain it and treat it as a concentrate liquid feed for tomatoes etc, but good for all fruiting veg tbh, good luck and happy growing to all!

Generally your own local council
