Hello and welcome, although I am also very new here.

I'm in Whitley Bay 

I am actually thinking of using seaweed on my new allotment, which is something I think the crofters have being doing for many years.

If you use it yourself, do you consider it a worthwhile exercise to improve the soil ?

Also, should I remove the salt first, or at least give it a bit of a rinse ?

[Cactus Jack]

I would rinse it off in the sea first

I would rinse it off in the sea first

I was going to do that anyway, in case there are any wee animals etc living on the seaweed.

However, I was wondering whether to remove the salt as well, by rinsing it in fresh water when I get it home. Although, I do remember seeing on TV, crofters piling seaweed on their land, straight from the beach. Maybe salt doesn't affect the soil, but I really don't know.
