For centuries, seaweed or Vraic (pronounced rack) as it is better known in Jersey, has been used as a manure, predominantly for for the humble spud.It was traditionally harvested around february and brought by the cart load to spread over the fields giving the jersey royals the flavour that made them famous. used generously it will make a rich, friable soil. The microorganisms love it and no you generally don’t need to wash it.
