I have a veg plot just 40 meters from the sea, so have more seaweed than I can possibly use right there. So my question is is it any good as a mulch for a no dig veg plot? – and how should prepare it before I spread it?
My plot has been traditionally dug for 4 years and is now consists of beautiful rich dark loam, you could not wish for better. However I like the sound of this no dig thing, so this year I have dug only half (then ran out of energy and invetigated this no dig method, which I will do with the rest.
Last year I heaped up a lot of seaweed by the plot and left it over the winter for the salt to leech out. It is now full of worms and couch grass roots – yes silly me I put it on top of some couch grass – lesson number 1.
Couch grass aside, what does anyone think?
