I’m very lucky that the seal cove has just delivered a good quantity of dry seaweed: cast ashore during the last spring tides, and now we’re on neaps. As seaweed is typically 5/6 water when alive, hauling home bone dry stuff (allowed if for personal use) means the maximum amount of garden food for your efforts. This sort, the ribbony tops of small kelp which go very stiff when sun-dried, shatters instantaneously in the compost shredder into just the right consistency of “meal” for putting round tomato plants.
Surely especially appropriate to give seaweed feed to Ailsa Craigs, tomatoes named after such a famous island about 350 miles north of here.
